Jasmin, a dromedary camel at the Berlin Zoo, recently gave birth to baby Jamila. Jamila attracted the interest of photographers when she explored her outdoor enclosure last week.

Dromedaries (also called Arabian camels) are the single-humped camel variety (as opposed to Bactrian camels, which have two). A dromedary’s hump can contain as much as 80 pounds of fat. Their ability to go without water for long periods of time is, of course, legendary -- but when they do have access to water they’ve been clocked drinking 30 gallons in 13 minutes!
