A few weeks ago we noticed that London was rife with wild animals - micropigs, boa constrictors, albino squirrels - the lot. But things have been a bit quiet on the streets of London lately - until now. This week a llama was spotted taking a casual stroll round Soho, mooching about on the streets and hanging out in Golden Square. And this ain't just any old llama - this is a celebrity llama. As well as being one of the oldest llamas in the world, this furry guy has starred in 'Midsomer Murders', 'Horrible Histories' and is currently promoting the new Shaun the Sheep film 'The Farmer's Llamas'.

Apparently the llama is called Spinach - which isn't exactly the showbiz name we had in mind but at least it's wearing red tassles for extra sass.
