The Toronto Zoo just got a new baby animal and this might be the cutest one yet
The Toronto Zoo announced the birth of a new baby camel today, and it's totally the good news we need right now.
The female calf was born yesterday to five-year-old camel Suria, and it was the first offspring for her and her mate Zip. If you thought human pregnancy was brutal, camels have it even worse: the baby had been gestating for around 14 long months, and weighs a whopping 45 kilos.
The baby is 45 kilos of straight up cuteness, though, with her long gangly legs and fluffy fur.
Suria, Zip and the baby are all Bactrian camels. The Toronto Zoo is keeping a close watch over the mother as well as the baby as the first 30 days of its life "are critical" according to an Instagram post announcing the news, which now has over 2000 likes.
The calf and Suria are currently habitating in the Eurasia Wilds area of the zoo, but are not able to be viewed publicly right now, though you might be able to sneak a peek during periodical exercise in the paddock.
The Toronto Zoo also recently welcomed a baby giraffe and eight Artic wolf pups to its exotic four-legged family.
