General Characteristics

Body Length: 300 cm / 10 ft.
Shoulder Height: 180-230 cm / 6-7.6 ft.
Tail Length: 50 cm / 20 in.
Weight: 600-1000 kg / 1320-2200 lb.
The long, wooly coat varies in colour from dark brown to sandy beige. There is a mane and beard of long hair on the neck and throat, with hairs up to 25 cm / 10 in long. The shaggy winter coat is shed extremely rapidly, with huge sections peeling off at once, almost as if it were shorn off. There are two humps on the back, which are composed of fat (not water as sometimes thought). The face is long and somewhat triangular, with a split upper lip. There are long eyelashes, which, along with the sealable nostrils, help to keep out dust in the frequent sandstorms which occur. The two broad toes on each foot have undivided soles and are able to spread widely as an adaptation to walking on sand.

Hi Stefan,
A nice portrait shot on this two hump Bactrian Camel. Nice detail and color in the fur. If you get close, they will spit on you.

Hello Stefan,
This is a very detailed capture with good timing. I like to see him with his mouth opened like this. You did a nice composition and lightning is very natural. Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Stefan

Wow... this is a really nice shot. The details are tack sharp and I like the colour tone. Good crop too. :-)

Hi Stefan.
You have captured a very nice moment. Your portrait of this cute animal is really wonderful. DOF is blurred extremely well. Reproduction of the hair, their texture and colours perfectly. Nice work. My best regards and TFS.
Alexei.

This is a nice capture Stefan. I like it because it is not a static portrait. It captures a moment in time. Great sharpness and depth of field.

Belle photo, ce beau chameau qui crie est bien pris. Amitiés Thomas

Nice humour. You can almost hear it saying something.
Well done.
