World's Oldest Llama Shorty Passes | Pittsburgh News

The world’s oldest llama, Shorty, has passed away at 31 — way past the typical 12-14 year lifespan. His owners at Iron Giants Draft Horse Rescue in California are chasing Guinness verification for his record-breaking age, currently holding the title for oldest captive llama at 29 years and 174 days. Adopted as part of a property deal, Shorty was beloved as the “wise old grandpa” of the rescue, though shy around people. His death is a heartbreaking loss for the team, who never planned to have llamas but cherish their time with him. In tribute, they’ll name their new llama field after him — honoring the OG who lived longer than any other. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
