Camel farm

This old girl let us sit on her back- most obliging!

Some of the young ones and babies check out my baby.

They are kinda cute! Love their lashes. These are the camels that belong to the royal family. They have a heard of 100-200 that they keep for prestige- that the public can go visit. These are all dromedary or Arabian camels. The males are more bad tempered so they are kept away from the females and babies. The babies are huge- a three week old was about four feet tall. The mamas were all around six feet-ish. Evelyn looks nervous here because she had just gotten her hair eaten for the second time. It looks like golden straw! The camel keeper is keeping the muncher back.

Oh and yes- you can buy camel meat in the store here- but no one eats these camels- they are pets. And no- I haven't tried camel meat and don't really have any plans to!
