October 12, 2007: Camel birth



xoB sends along this set via this blog. I've never seen a camel birth before, but it looks not much different from other large mammal births. The best part is the last -- like other fresh-outs, when the baby gets its first licking from mama, it instinctively wobbles up on its weak pins to get its first milk. Unlike human infants, the young ones in the field have to be somewhat operational on day one. When there are predators around you have to be mobile, and there's no wasting time. On the other hand, it's cute as hell from the get-go.
