A male Bactrian camel calf is now on exhibit on the Northern Trail at the Minnesota Zoo! Born March 4, 2010, weighing a whopping 128 pounds, the calf – who hasn’t been named yet – has been kept off-exhibit with his mother to ensure that he was healthy and gaining weight. Camels usually gain approximately two pounds per day, and will reach adult size (1600–1800 pounds and eight feet tall) in 3-4 years.

   
The Minnesota Zoo hasn’t exhibited sea dragons since 2008 in order to design and create a much larger and more decorative exhibit than the previous one – an exhibit where both weedy and leafy sea dragons could be exhibited together.
