mother licking her newborn

Thank you for your comments

Actually, this was an emergency delivery, which we saw on a trip through the Mauritanian desert. When passing by our guide reckognized that the camel lying there in the sand had problems with delivering. The hind legs had already come out but the front legs were apparently blocked. When the camel rose frightened he and the drivers grasped the hind legs and pulled the baby out. After lying there in the sand quivering it started moving head and legs and the mother came closer and started licking her newborn. We could not wait to see how the baby eventually scrambled to stand on its legs which would have taken quite some time, but the guide said that everything seemed to be ok

Beautiful documentary. Karl
