Camels

Where do you go to see Camels? Your local autumnal forest of course…
It helps if there is a circus on the green nearby

How marvellous! No free-roaming lions around, I trust? I’m just thinking about the practicalities of running fast in those wellington’s if there were…

You had a similar posting on your blog exactly a year ago. Same circus on the same green?
How are these unfortunate animals used?

I suppose it’s the same circus - I don’t know - I’ve got an aversion to the idea of circuses (or is that Circi?????) It’s just so weird to be tramping along in wellies and coming across an animal designed for the desert - Ig, who is an expert on all things, tells me they are asian camels used to the cold but I have no idea.

Hey, I am shocked: I asked my flatmate what is the single-hunched camel in English (we have separate names for single-hunched ones “Dromedario”, and “Gamelu” for two-hunched ones)… and he says all of them are camels!… “well, we call the other one Asian Camel…”, great!
ha, ha, ha!!!

The one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius ) is found in the Arabian deserts, while the two-humped camel (Camelus bactrianus) is an Asiatic animal.

These had two humps so your flatmate was right
