This is very interesting. I had no idea. We don't see many camels in the United States and I just thought they were all a sort of yellowish-brown color, without spots or patterns.

 

I do remember reading a book on the physiology of domestic animals, and it seemed as if the camel was always an exception to everything. For example, camels' red blood cells have a nucleus, unlike every other animal's, etc.
