Why did the camel cross the road? We don’t know but one thing is for sure, we have a whole bunch of animals in places where they shouldn’t be: dogs, cats, moose, and deer, they’ve all become participants in traffic in some corner of the world.
But until today, we’ve never seen a camel. However, Dubai and indeed the United Arab Emirates are crazy about their four-legged humped pack animals. They even use them for racing, and we’ve heard rumors of prized examples trading for millions.
This one escape from the nearby Dubai Marina and onto a motorway in Dubai. Oddly, it’s keeping to its lane at a nice galloping speed. Still, an adult can stand at 2.15 m (7 ft 1 inches) at the hump and can weigh 400 kg (900 lb) or more.
