Featured Animal
Boo - The Camel
The Tulu camel, also known as the "Tulu hybrid camel," is an interesting and unique breed that has been developed through the crossbreeding of different camel species, typically the Bactrian (two-humped) and the Dromedary (one-humped) camels. Here are some fun facts about this fascinating hybrid:
Adaptable to Weather: Whether it’s super hot or freezing, the Tulu camel is ready for anything. It got the best of both worlds from its parents and can live in different climates.
​
Milk Machine: Did you know that camels give milk? Tulu camels are great at this, and their milk is very important for the people who live with them. Camel milk is even used to make things like cheese and yogurt!
