Happy 9th Birthday, Marty! 🥳

Marty is an Arabian camel, also known as a dromedary camel. This species has been domesticated for around 3,500 years and they are used mainly as pack animals. They have one hump that can store up to 80 lbs of fat, which can be broken down into water and energy – a great adaptation for life in the desert! Marty is a goofy guy with a big personality. He loves eating browse and pretty much anything keepers offer! 🍎🍠🥕🍌 His favorite activities include drinking straight from the hose and getting hosed down by his keepers on hot days! ☀
