Well, from the looks of it, you should just use box modeling to extrude on the four big polygons under the llama.

Actually, to have your model go from quad to bi-pedal, it'll take a bit more than just extruding the bottom 4 polys, you'll also need 'shoulders' on all the limbs so when the limbs bend at more sharper angles the shading wont turn out weird, and it will look more natural.
Apart from the bottom 4, you also have a few polys around them, have them also connected the limbs when extruded.

If I get the time I'll see if I can whip up an image for you.
