Found: A Camel with No Hump
|

Originally published on the ExplorOz Facebook Page, this image sparked a lively discussion on an unusual looking female camel spotted in the Great Victoria Desert. This prompted us to contact well known camel expert Chris O'Hora for an answer to the debate, read this blog for the answer.
