“A new face has arrived at the zoo:” Welcome Gankhuyag

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Workers at the Idaho Falls Zoo arrived Friday morning to find a new addition. 

 Sometime overnight, Zasu the Bactrian camel gave birth. The zookeepers say they knew Zasu was pregnant.

"Please join us in welcoming the newest addition to our zoo family — Gankhuyag (pronounced Gon-Que-og), the baby Bactrian camel! Gankhuyag was born May 11th, and both he and his amazing mom, Zazu, are doing great," said the zoo in a post on Facebook.

The zoo asks that we give them some privacy by not parking along the back fence for the next few days or trying to call the camels over when visiting the zoo.
