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?"
