There's a cuddly new addition to the Dakota Zoo: a very huggable-looking newborn baby camel.

Looking at the zoo's newest bundle of joy, with her thick woolly coat and adorable face, one wants to run up and wrap arms around her.

The as-yet-unnamed baby girl was born to 17-year-old female Sadie on Friday, April 3; papa is named TJ.

Says zoo official Katie Lind:

We actually got a call from one of the people on the highway that told us our camel looks a little weird and we should maybe go check her out. So, our Assistant Director actually went out and checked her out and she was giving birth to a little baby girl.
