PHOENIX — Llamas made a break for it, running through the streets of Sun City on Thursday afternoon, stopping traffic and lighting up the Internet.

The animals ran wild northwest of Phoenix, but the entire nation seemed to follow their plight online.

Multiple networks followed the pair on live streams and Twitter, where the hashtag #LlamaWatch quickly became a trending topic.
