Albert the baby camel is only six months old and gets excited by all sorts of things. But his first sight of snow had him jumping for joy. The gorgeous moment when he emerged from his barn at a California ranch to wintery surroundings was captured on video which quickly went viral, delighting viewers around the world.
Kicking up his heels and leaping around, it was clear baby Albert was thrilled by the snowy spectacle.
“Albert wanted to make sure the goats were seeing the snow too,” his keepers said in the video.
Amusingly, we can see the goats following Albert around in the video as he seemingly showed them some of his favorite spots around the ranch.
“We put him in the barn at night and during day he walks around and has some apples and dates and then walks around the ranch all day,” Richard told Newsflare.
The cute footage has amassed over three million views and has been putting big smiles on viewers’ faces. People have fallen in love with joyful Albert in the snow.
The owners of the 200-acre ranch are Richard and Linda Murad. Located in the Los Padres National Forest, it is one of California’s oldest cattle ranches. The couple run the ranch with the help of their three children Alex, Shelley, and Jack.
Some viewers were concerned Albert may be existing in unnatural weather conditions, asking if Albert is in the wrong climate and if he gets cold.
His kind carers took a moment to reassure them, saying:
“So far this season he has not shown signs he is cold. He has so much fur too.
“Also Albert has a nice barn just for him that he sleeps in. He can go there anytime he wants. He just loves walking around and meeting all.”
