The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
To the amazement of visitors at Zurich Zoo today, a baby camel was born on exhibit! These first pictures show the calf as he tries to get a leg up. 17 year old mum 'Urga' is the proud mother of this her seventh calf. Father 'Ulan' (not pictured) shares his son's white coloring.
Bactrian camels are critically endangered in the wild and the St. Louis Zoo is helping to preserve the species with their latest birth. This shaggy little male calf, born to parents Minnie and Elvis, will reach 1,600-1,800 lbs. in adulthood! Camels are famous for carrying people across the deserts of the Middle East and Africa but they actually originated in North America and migrated across the Bering Strait.
At one month of age, Eugenia the baby dromedary camel is still getting used to her very long legs and wobbly frame at the Benito Juarez Zoo in Morelia Michoacán Mexico. The video is grainy but Eugenia’s high-spirits are evident.
Baby camels are just plain goofy. This little dromedary camel was born at the Bosque y Zoologico in Mexicali, Mexico on March 6th. While the pictures are a bit grainy, the camels absurdly long legs and neck are clearly visible, as is her healthy appetite.
