Miley the Bactrian camel baby is now almost 9 months old! Her floppy back hump that so many visitors commented on (humps don’t have any bones so you can’t “break” them) is now standing up. Miley and her mom Renee are trading exhibit use with her dad Franklin. You can see Miley’s thick coat makes these Indiana winters seem like nothing.

The sand cat in the Zoo’s Nocturnal exhibit is a very active little guy. He loves to stalk and pounce on his many toys and interact with the public. But the other day he was finally caught holding still! The “lying on the log” pose is a favorite of cats, just ask the jaguars.

Donna the hippo may be the oldest hippo in the world, but she still knows how to have fun. Every morning as her pool is filling, Donna takes advantage of the strong spray, opening her mouth and moving around to let it hit different parts of her body. Donna also enjoys playing with hippo-sized balls and barrels. Here are a few shots:
