Riga Zoo Welcomes Baby Camel — Liepāja Asks Where Our Sea Elephant Calf Is
Camel mama Leila has given birth to a 37-kilogram baby, but they haven't thought of a name for him yet. In Durbe's peaceful atmosphere, such an event would be the sensation of the year.
Riga Zoo has finally proven that something interesting can happen in the capital without deputy scandals. Camel mama Leila has given birth to a 37-kilogram baby who, from his first days of life, is already demonstrating typical Riga resident behavior — clinging tightly to mama and letting himself be fed.
Zoo representatives have announced that the baby camel is alert, which in Riga context means he hasn't started complaining about traffic jams and apartment prices yet. Currently, mother and baby are living separately from the rest of the camel group, as specialists believe the newcomer needs peace to get acquainted with the world without unnecessary stress.
"That's right," comments one Liepāja resident, "the baby camel needs peace to grow. Durbe with its tranquility would be an ideal place for such a little one — there even the seagulls don't screech as loudly as in Liepāja."
The zoo promises to reveal the baby camel's name soon, though speculation has already begun. Possible options: Little Riga's resident, Traffic Jam, or simply Precious — in keeping with capital city traditions. The camel's father declined to comment on this matter, as it turns out he's busy blowing sand around Daugavgrīva beach, trying to create that homey feeling.
