Headline: Adorable Baby Bactrian Camel Born At Woburn Safari Park
Caption: Adorable Baby Bactrian Camel Born At Woburn Safari Park. This adorable little guy, seen here with his mum, Rita, is Woburn Safari Park's latest arrival - a male Bactrian camel calf born on 22 April 2025. Quickly on his feet and tottering about unsteadily, the newborn will generally stay very close to his attentive mum as he adjusts to his new surroundings. Woburn Safari Park is now home to eight Bactrian camels, three females and five males. Parents Khan and Rita also welcomed a male calf back in 2022, named Walter. Khan, the main breeding male of the group, is also dad to two other calves, female Ump and male Wednesday. When Rita became a first-time mum in 2022, she needed a little extra help from the keepers to support her and the newborn. This time, however, she's taken the reins with confidence and her natural maternal instincts have been evident as she encourages the calf to feed. While the rest of the herd has shown some curiosity towards the new addition, Rita has kept a gentle distance from the others, to give her little one time to adjust and find its feet.
