Leave it to the baby daddy to ruin everything.
When Samara and Sarah came out into public view with the rest of the camel family, their father couldn't have cared less about his precious daughters.
He just wanted more of those hot moms in his life.
The scene from the Pioneer Press:
'Things got a little hectic,' Northern Trail zookeeper Tim Hill said Thursday. 'The male was worked up after not seeing the females for a couple months.'Video of the new arrivals:
The 2,500-pound bull camel crashed into the calves on his way to their moms. The babies squealed and searched for their mothers. For the first time, they were on their own.
But they survived -- baby camels are as durable as rubber, Hill said.

"Baby camels are as durable as rubber..."
That's why they paint them up like clown babies and have them do a swan dive into a bucket.
But god forbid any of them ever realize that they can fly!

Humpfrey...

Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 11 2009 @ 11:35AMi really want to see them, quite interesting...
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 11 2009 @ 1:15PMDo you really have to refer to the father of the camel as its "baby daddy"? This is ridiculous.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 11 2009 @ 1:25PMhahah 'baby daddy'...
that is poor writing.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 11 2009 @ 1:56PMnot necessarily bad writing, considering all the male camel does is parade himself around, impregnating any who catch his eye. i wouldnt exactly call that a father.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 11 2009 @ 2:07PMWhat a pathetic excuse for journalism. How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you use ghetto slang in a news article. Oh well, it was good for a laugh(at the author).
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 11 2009 @ 2:18PMAgreed. The article isn't written that well overall anyway but the "baby daddy" term just does it for me. If it was used in an attempt to be edgy and get attention I'm afraid only the latter has worked and for the wrong reasons. The video was disappointing as I expected to see the even in which the author spoke about. Terrible article. Awesome camels.
Posted On: Saturday, Apr. 11 2009 @ 4:14PMAnd the saying is "couldn't care less", not could care less. If you could care less, that implies that you actually do care some. This may be the case, but if so, then why mention it at all? We expect that the father cares, so why would it be a shocker?

I for one welcome our future camel overlords.
Posted On: Sunday, Apr. 12 2009 @ 8:52AMoh my god, get over yourselves. clearly it's not a national geographic article about the mating habits of camels. it's an alternative weekly BLOG POST that probably took "the author" (aka the BLOGGER) two minutes to write and even longer to read your @ssholish comments.
