Nature and wildlife island reserve Sir Bani Yas Island recently welcomed a baby llama to its extensive wildlife family.
The baby is the first of its species to be born on the island.
There are currently seven llamas on the island - five females and two males.
The baby male will stay with its mother for six months before becoming more independent. Llamas are a South American relative of the camel, but do not have a hump. These sociable animals can be found wandering in herds, grazing on grass or various other plants.
