Fun fact
Before the following winter, our camels acquire a fresh coat after losing their wool in the early summer. Usually in December, our camels look very disorganised when the moulting of the camel wool begins. Our camels appear trim and trim for about a month after the moulting wool has been removed naturally, by the camel rubbing itself against a tree, or by us combing the wool off. The wool then starts to develop in preparation for the coming winter.
