Packaging refers to the doll as 'Boppi the booty shaking llama' and it runs off four Double A batteries.

Zuru, the company behind the doll, have created a range of 'living' animals, from snakes, fish to turtles, but the £25 llama is set to become the star.

By the touch a button, the Boppi blasts three different songs and jumps about.
