Description

This two-hump camel was in the same enclosure with the one I showed you yesterday. I always think these look comical, with those furry tufts on top of their humps. This is the sort of camel I had in mind when I posted Sand Camel a few months ago. Imagine my surprise when I found a real one so close to home!

Hehe!!! I have seen these critters at the Johannesburg Zoo! They are too funny. Even the expression on their faces look a bit goofy! I love this Hun!

My lover of 15 years once remarked that of all the ladies he had known I was the one most like a camel in the face.

Ahhhh....well done. As I recall it was just us and the camel and not a sand dune in sight:) I was as surprised as you!

I always think their nostrils are so interesting. Great capture; is he wondering where the sand dunes went?

I've heard riding on their backs is a real trip, especially the part where they get up after you mount. Their back legs go up first and you're likely to do a header if you're not prepaired for it. Although I suppose if you're riding a two humped variety it might not be quite so unsaddling. Neat shot of this charming fellow : )
