Copenhagen Zoo 40/ - The Camel

As seen through the lens of my old Canon Cam Copenhagen Zoo 40/ - The Camel Copenhagen, Spring 2017 There are two kinds of Camels: The Dromedary with one hump and, here, the Two Humps CAMEL. Both have been domesticated more than 4500 years ago, mostly as a carrier, but also for its wool and meat. The Dromedary, one humps and long legs, is widespread in subsaharan Africa, and the Middle East. The Two Humps Camel is originally from the Gobi desert, Mogolia & China. With its humps as a food reserve, it uses that fat reserve to survive very long periods without food or water, but can drain more than 150 liters of water at one go, and even can survive on dry leaves or thorn vegetations. It is adapted to both the scorching heath of sommer and the ice cold weather in the winter. Herds were imported to Australia in the 19C, and now there is a large number of them, up to 60k living there in the wilderness. I understand that other herds were also imported to the USA, in the same periode as carriers through the conquest of the Ouest. Wonder if some of them have survived after they were no longer needed. Up to 800 kg for males and less for females. They live in family groups with a dominant male and a hareem of two to 5 females! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Copenhagen Zoo was inaugurated in 1859. Since then it has undergone different changes and improvements as late as the beginning of this century. Besides exhibiting different species of animals, it is involved in major research and in a wide range of projects both at home and abroad, about conservation of threatened species, environment monitoring, eco-systems etc... For me personally and for my family, it is a must visit once in a while to keep in contact with the Wild, and each visit is an exhilarating experience!
