Researchers cross bred a female llama and a male camel to create a "cama."
The cute little animal was born last week in United Arab Emirates.
The llama belongs to the camel species but is much smaller and has no humps.
A few million years ago there was a single species in Arabia but some
migrated north and settled in south America, evolving into what is known as the
llama.
