I love animals, a lot. Throw in baby animals and my heart melts and I lose all control. While in Jordan, I was lucky enough to spend some time in the desert where, to my great joy, there had been a camel baby boom. Here are some of my favorite photos of the young and newborn baby camels I found in Wadi Rum.

I share your love for baby animals. In Nepal I came across baby yaks and baby elephants and I was sucked in straight away. I know a guy in Western Australia that has several camels, and last time I visited he had a baby one. Wonderful creatures.
