A mother and baby camel are talking one day when the baby camel asks,
“Mom, why have I got these huge three toed feet?”
The mother replies, “Well son, when we trek across the desert your
toes will help you to stay on top of the soft sand.”
“Okay,” says the son.
A few minutes later the son asks, “Mom, why have I got these great
long eyelashes?”
“They are there to keep the sand out of your eyes on the trips
through the desert.”
“Thanks Mom,” replies the son.
After a short while, the son returns and asks, “Mom, why have I got
these great big humps on my back??”
His mother replies impatiently, “They are there to help us store water
for our long treks across the desert.”
“That’s great Mom. So we have huge feet to stop us sinking, and long
eyelashes to keep the sand from our eyes, and these humps to store
water, but Mom…”
“To watch the penguins eat each othe alive, son. They are so funny. They first poke each others eyes out and then rip out each others jugular veins. Then their blood makes a wonderful red fountain.”
“Oh okay mom. You are the best mom ever.”
“Oh look, a tiger is eating papa camel. We’ll have to get a new one.”
