One of the 18 camels of the Bulgarian circus that are kept at the Zoological Garden in Chisinau gave birth to a young in the afternoon of April 3. Scientific secretary Olga Iuzvac has told IPN that it is a white female camel.

She also said they are glad that the mother feeds the baby as a camel that gave birth last spring didn’t accept the young and it was fed by the zoo workers.

The species of camels kept at the Chisinau zoo is very rare. They are considered elite animals owing to their precious fir. Seventeen of the 18 camels of the Bulgarian circus are females. The owners of the camels will decide what name to give to the baby. Over the next six months, the camel and her young will not be transported to Bulgaria.
