Gaddafi's camels now at Tsabong Camel Park

Darker, shorter and broader than the Kgalagadi camels, the camels have now been given to the Tsabong Camel Park, according to Botswana Tourism Organisation public relations and communications manager, Keitumetse Setlang.

Kenyan camel husbandry expert and coordinator of the park's training and husbandry upkeep programme, Dr Christopher Field said the camels have interbred with the Kgalagadi camels, and that their offspring are of intermediate size.  Field said the offspring would be good for camelback safari rides as they are not as tall as the Kgalagadi camels.  On whether the offspring will be stronger than the pure camels, Field said it was still not clear.
