Another area of interest for me was the camels. The two dromedary camels remained right next to the viewing area the entire time we were by their enclosure. Though one of the camels simply stood around with a very composed look on its face, the other seemed to think that it was time for 'Fun With Lips.' I almost couldn't get my husband to move along because he was getting such a kick out of this animals 'exploration of the various postures available to camel lips.'
The pen area was relatively clean. It was a warm day when we visited and though there was the usual animal odor of feces and urine it was not overwhelming nor terribly offensive.
The bactian camels were rather difficult to view due to the construction of the enclosure. They must be powerful animals and rather adverse to being penned up as the bars of their enclosure were quite thick.
We enjoyed the camels tremendously.
