Kicker: No llama drama

NICK EICHER, HOST: A bucktoothed, 27-year-old llama isn’t kicking back in retirement—he still clocks in every day.

Whitetop as he’s known has just been crowned the world’s oldest llama in captivity.

But he’s too busy comforting sick kids at Victory Junction to let that slow him down.

AUDIO: He can be kind of intimidating at first, but once they come over to him, they just realize how sweet he is.

Victory Junction is a camp in North Carolina founded by the Petty family, maybe the most well-known name in NASCAR.

For his part, Whitetop is known for his charm.

AUDIO: He really does love a selfie moment. Like if you try to take a picture of him from the side, he will scoot in there … it’s like he’s cheesing.

Old Whitetop just proves that when it comes to being a great llama, there’s no drama. And you know what else there isn’t?

AUDIO: Typically llamas only spit when they are scared. And he just loves his job so much that he doesn’t do it.

Doesn’t spit. So there you have it, too legit to spit.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
