Melman from Madagascar was modeled after this very camel…

It’s somehow more adorable when large animals frolic and play!

That’s a dromedary delight (and a badass bin, too).

That is one dignity-free dromedary.

And here I thought camels were such sedate, serene creatures…

  I guess you’ve never met a camel. They’re nasty.

    Wrong hump count. Camels have two. A camel wouldn’t take that shit from a lousy hunk of plastic.

      Camels have either one (dromedary) or two (Bactrian). Both mean as far as I know. I remember always staying well back from them at the zoo because of the signs warning that they might spit!

        There’s a great passage in Gary Jennings’ “The Wanderer” when Marco Polo describes how revolting camel spit truly is. It’s not actual spit, but regurgitated, half chewed, re-regurgitated, vile miasma rotting filth. =)
        
        Having seen it first hand (although fortunately never having been the recipient), I can tell you that the description on that book is as close to it as you can get without risking the loss of your lunch. =)

        Apparently Bactrians have a better sense of humor.
