The “lone llama of Pikes Peak,” the baby llama that survived a month on Pikes Peak’s windswept slopes, is now safe and warm.

The llama was captured Friday afternoon after a busy month — it frequently amused riders on the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, running close to the train, but also alarmed llama owners around the nation, who worried it would become food for a mountain lion or die from the cold.

The male llama is thin and may lose its ears to frostbite but is otherwise fine, said rescuer Tracy Ducharme, a llama owner from Black Forest. And the lone llama even has a name now.
