A special treat for kids and their parents at Zoo Miami is the Humpy’s Camel Rides near the Children’s Zoo section. For a small fee, you can climb aboard either Charlie or Fluffy and be lead around a path by the animal’s keeper. You will feel like you are traveling through an Arabian desert, just like when the nomads began using them for transportation over 4,000 years ago. Today all dromedary camels are domestic. None have lived in the wild since the time of Christ.
