EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - In Mesker Park Zoo, their female camel named Friday has passed away.

Zoo officials say she had to be euthanized after a year-long battle with a gastrointestinal disease.

The zoo says Friday was deeply loved by her care team and by many in the community.

At this time, the zoo is looking for a new companion for their other camel named “Wednesday”.

If an animal cannot be found to join her quickly, the zoo will need to move her to a new home where she can live alongside other camels.
