VERSION 1.0 - http://youtu.be/6mUWaAcZFUM Twitter has been laughing all day about this TV news video of black and white llamas being chased by police in Sun City, Arizona. More than 220,000 tweets mentioning the llamas were posted on Thursday, making it the second-most popular subject on Twitter after net neutrality. They had a pretty good run, but the police have apparently caught both of them. Picture a mix of your favorite movie car chase and a trip to the zoo. Two llamas were on the loose in Sun City, Arizona, Thursday, with TV cameras following them as law enforcement closed in. Of course, it didn't take long before Twitter joined in the hunt. #Llamas became a trending topic worldwide. The chase began after a 911 call came in to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office just before noon, reporting that a black llama and a white llama had escaped from an assisted living facility, where they were about to do patient therapy work. But in Washington, the llamas were found before CNN affiliate KPTV's chopper made it to the scene. In Arizona, citizens helped capture the llamas, who were on the way home Thursday afternoon, Jones said. "Needless to say, they are on their way back to the ranch," the lieutenant said. "There was no therapy." The Twitterverse begged to differ Karen Freund and Bub Bullis said their afternoon was anything but relaxing. They told CNN Phoenix affiliate KTVK they never expected their white llama, Kanita, and black llama, Lainey, to make a run for it at the retirement home on Thursday. Alejandro, a third llama they'd brought with them for the demonstration, stayed put. "They were having a lot of fun today, but we weren't. We were totally stressed out," said Freund, who was wearing an "I love llamas" T-shirt and llama earrings as she recounted the ordeal to the station. Bullis said the chase lasted for hours -- until a landscaper with a lasso came to the rescue. It's not the first time they've had to chase down a suspect. The llamas' owners are both retired police officers. "I have run after people before," Bullis said, "but never that fast." Now, with their llamas' whereabouts pinned down, they're starting to enjoy the Internet frenzy. "It's pretty funny to have our llamas get loose in Sun City and get this kind of attention," Bullis said. Freund told KTVK she's already taken an online quiz to find out whether she's a black or white llama. "I was the black llama," she said, laughing. "I don't know who has the time to put that together."
