Bactrian camel

Camelus bactrianus

Nela

The Great Warrior

Nela was born in the circus. When she came to us, she was a year and eight months old and had health problems. We had to treat the pus that formed in her lower sled every day for two months. Since we found 2 pathological holes in the sled, we had to perform an X-ray. Based on the results, the vet had to extract the damaged tooth.

Camels are very well adapted to life in the desert. Instead of hooves, they have “slippers”, thanks to which their feet do not get stuck in the sand. They can close their nostrils so they don’t get sand up their noses in a desert storm. The ears are protected from sand thanks to the dense fur. And the eyes are also safe – they can “snap” the eye with the third eyelid.
In the summer, the two-humped camel is protected by short hair, which protects it from sunlight and intrusive insects, and in the winter it turns into a thick winter coat, which provides insulation from cold rain, unpleasant wind and snow.
