A male camel calf was born April 20 at the Milwaukee County Zoo. The Zoo showcased its newest resident in a gender-reveal video posted on Facebook and X.

He weighed 99 pounds at birth.

The baby boy has not been named yet; the Zoo is still determining how it will name him.

After a checkup on April 21, the Zoo declared "mom and baby are doing well." He explored the outdoor camel habitat with his mom for the first time April 23, a Zoo publicist said in an email message.

This new Bactrian camel joins his sister Leilani, born May 20, 2023, at the Zoo to mother AJ (Addie-Jean) and father Stan. AJ also delivered calves in 2017, 2019 and 2021; they went on to live at other zoos.
