Pack of Camas

I’m not sure how prevalent this knowledge is, but I hadn’t heard of Camas previously and thought the concept was worth sharing.

A cama is a hybrid between a male dromedary camel and a female llama, produced via artificial insemination at the Camel Reproduction Centre in Dubai. – wikipedia

Baby Cama

The first cama was born on January 14, 1998. The aim was to create an animal with the size and strength of the camel, but the more cooperative temperament and the higher wool production of the llama – wikipedia

They do get a little less cute as they get older.

Older Cama

Strangest of all, camas have partially cloven feet – a halfway compromise between the foot pad of the camels and cloven feet of the llamas. – metro.co.uk

This use of artificial insemination to overcome size differences has inspired me: please contact me if you work at a bioengineering firm, I want to discuss crossing a Shetland pony with a giraffe.
