LLAMA WATCH: The llamas appear to be taking a short break under a tree. Today’s high in Phoenix: 72 degrees. #abc15 pic.twitter.com/kmt6olCMSE

It was obviously a perfect time for puns.

I am recusing myself from coverage of this story. There will be no further comment. #TeamLlamas #LlamaChase #LlamaWatch

And quips.

Where have all the cowboys gone?

And business deals.

The #AZCardinals have agreed to one-year deals with the #llamasontheloose. Each llama will earn 2,340 lbs of hay. Steve Keim does it again.

Some, like President Obama's former head speechwriter, saw the political message behind the chase.

A direct result of Obama's Llamnesty policy

That the black llama was caught before the white llama seemed to some as being reminiscent of a larger problem.

If nothing else, the chase shows how ill-prepared so many U.S. cities are for such a disaster.

Seriously the city of Phoenix appears to have no plan whatsoever for catching these llamas
