🐪🌍 World Camel Day – June 22 🌍🐪

Today we celebrate one of the most resilient creatures on Earth – the camel! More than just desert dwellers, camels are vital to the heritage, culture, and economies of many regions across the world.

Here’s a surprising twist: did you know that Australia has the world’s largest population of wild camels? Introduced in the 19th century for transport and construction in the outback, these camels thrived in the arid conditions – and their numbers skyrocketed.

📦🐫 From the Outback to the Oasis: In recent years, thousands of wild camels from Australia have been exported to the UAE and other Gulf countries. Why?

• The camels are genetically strong and well-adapted to desert climates.

• They’re used for breeding, racing, and even camel beauty contests in the Middle East.

• The UAE values camel lineage and quality – and Aussie camels have proven to be top-tier.

This fascinating journey reflects how camels continue to bridge continents and cultures in unexpected ways.
