We believe humans and Mission XXX Impossibleanimals alike know that when confronted by a bear, it's best to just chill and not mess with it.
But one brave llama became a hero when it stared fear directly in the face, and protected its fellow fuzzy friends from a scary bear.
The llama, named Noir (cool name), was found on Eagle Mountain Golf Course in Jackson, New Hampshire after escaping its nearby home. According to The Conway Daily Sun, Noir, belonging to local man named Russ Miller, escaped from his electric fence enclosure at Moody Farm Road and darted to the sixth fairway at the Eagle. The course is about 3 miles away by road and 2 miles running through the woods.

Apparently Noir has grown fond of a local family of ducks, and has taken on the duty of watching over them. When he saw a bear sniffing around his friends, he sprung into action and chased the bear away.
Jackson Police Chief Chris Perley, who wrangled Noir the lasttime he got loose, has formed a bond with the llama and spoke of his protective nature.
“Noir has a flock of ducks that he watches over, and a bear has taken a taste for duck eggs and duck," he said. "The bear came calling, and Noir jumped over the (electric) fence and chased after it. All of a sudden, we started getting all these calls from golfers saying there was a llama in the middle of the (nine-hole) course, and he didn't have a tee time."
Perley and Patrol Officer Ryan McDonald, who also has experience corralling Noir, had a little trouble tearing him away from his post protecting those ducks, but eventually proved successful. They crafted a harness out of rope and led Noir back to the road.
"Noir was just starting to move between the fairway and a big patch of bushes when Ryan sprang into action, and ran in and grabbed as much llama as he could," Perley said. "Half the battle is to catch a llama; the other half is to get him home."
Perley and McDonald attached Noir to the back of a police pick-up truck and drove at "parade speed" to get him home safely. But Noir got tired -- he did save a bunch of ducks from a bear after all.
"I don't have a lot of widespread llama experience ... "
“After going a little way, we stopped,” Perley said. “I don’t know how you tell if a llama is tired, but he looked it. I’m not sure how old he is, but there was no gray hair on his chin. I’m going to say he’s middle-aged.”
Miller returned to retrieve his llama with a flatbed trailer, stayed in the back with him as he laid down, and took the hero home as Perley drove.
Perley and the police department have connected Miller with bear biologists who have the means to mitigate the bear problem. And as for keeping Noir in his pen? Miller now knows to make the electric fence a little higher in case Noir tries to leap out again, even if it's for good reason.
“This time we took him into full custody,” Perley said of his llama pal. “The warning was a little sterner. I don’t have a lot of widespread llama experience, but Noir, with those big brown eyes, sure seems fond of me. He kept rubbing up on me, and kind of made a purring sound."
Sounds like if his policemen friends were confronted with a bear, there'd be no doubt Noir would jump over an electric fence to save them.
