One Hump or Two?

Baby camel at the Minnesota Zoo

March 29, 2010 at 7:32PM

Went to the Minnesota Zoo yesterday. Great day for it, a little brisk but sunny.

I am always surprised when I round the corner on the Northern Trail to see how HUGE those Bactrian camels are.

We were surprised to see a darling baby camel running around the hill.

We wondered out loud. Which camel is his mommy?

As if on cue the baby camel made a beeline for one of the camel's underbelly.

Aha, of course.

The new mom was the haggard looking one who was losing her hair...

And as I type this - I wish I had taken a picture.

But you can see the cute baby camel photo here.
