The Brookfield Zoo has a new baby camel, and the yet-unnamed little guy made his public debut yesterday. If you were expecting full uh, humpage, you're going to be disappointed. "At birth, a camel calf’s humps are limp, consisting of just skin and hair," according to the zoo. Shudder. [zoo release]
