With all the talk about camels, my only service contact with them was in El Adem and Aden and not particularly close-up. However a few years back I read a fascinating book, "Tracks" by Robyn Davidson, who walked a train of camels 1,700-miles across the Australian out-back.
Apparently the camels went a bit do-lally when the reached the Indian ocean, not knowing what to do with such a large expanse of water!
