Isn't he adorable! Alexander is a baby camel that lives a few miles up the road from us. Unfortunately Alex's mother died while birthing him and he is having to be bottle fed. The owner also had both parents but, as I understand the story, after Alex's mother died the male camel attacked Alex and was trying to kill him so the owners felt they had to rid themselves of the raging father camel. I had photographed both of Alex's parents several times and was particularly fond of
Kahn, the male camel. He was so friendly and personable with me, I am sad to pass the field where
Kahn lived and not see him there. But then I think baby Alexander is going to be a real charmer! sf

As charming as TV? (0;
I hear they smell awful...but he sure is cute!
I am going back and "sniff" him. . . I'll let you know! The adult male one did spit at me once. He missed, and I think he meant it affectionately! But then I'm a positive thinker. . sf
