We are celebrating the successful birth of a male Dromedary camel which came into the world on Monday lunchtime.

Our new addition seems fine, and his mother cleaned him and started to take care of him straight away.

The male calf stood up in the first hour of being born and fell over, but got straight back up and started to walk.

The new father is rather taken with his son and has taken on the role of a doting parent.

His is still in his enclosure and out for everybody to see.
