A mother and baby camel are talking one day when
the baby camel asks, "Mom why have I got these
huge three toed feet?"

The mother replies, "Well son, when we trek
across the desert your toes will help you to stay
on top of the soft sand".

"OK" said the son. A few minutes later the son
asks, "Mom, why have I got these great long
eyelashes?"

"They are there to keep the sand out of your eyes
on the trips through the desert", "Thanks Mom"
replies the son.

After a short while, the son returns and asks,
"Mom, why have I got these great big humps on my
back??"

The mother, now a little impatient with the boy
replies, "They are there to help us store water
for our long treks across the desert, so we can go
without drinking for long periods."

"That's great mom, so we have huge feet to stop
us sinking, and long eyelashes to keep the sand
from our eyes and these humps to store water.

But Mom", "Yes son?"

"Why the heck are we in the San Diego Zoo?"
