It's wonderful. The camel is sooo beautiful and cute, I'm afraid camels will become a trendy pet. Ever SMELLED one? They're also rather nasty-tempered, I understand. (Anyway, they're much too big, unless you have a farm with all the requisite out-buildings.) The Nashville Zoo had a baby camel on display in the petting zoo. They took it off display a few months ago; I don't know if this is because it started getting less sweet-tempered, because they sold it to another zoo, or what. At any rate, during the several months it was on display it seemed friendly enough, probably because it thought of humans as "people who feed and pet me" as opposed to "people who pile heavy loads on my back". It was a bit smelly, but so are the goats, who are the main pettable animals in the petting zoo. Only billys are smelly, and they don't care much if you pet them. The gals, though, are frantically sociable. Theresa My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ |

Which reminds me of the camel rides at the spynx in Egypt. After bargaining for a while, the unwary tourist pays for the ride... not knowing that when it's time to come back they have to bargain again for the ride back. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

gals, though, are frantically sociable. Theresa Oh, yes. The nannies are wonderful little pets, (as far as livestock goes) except they are a pain in the butt sometimes. "Frantically sociable" is a good description. Sherry |
