A camel named Mongo at the world- famous San Diego Zoo. Camels were domesticated more than 3,000 years ago, and to this day, humans depend on them for transport across arid environments. They can easily carry an extra 200 pounds (90 kilograms) while walking 20 miles (32 kilometers) a day in the harsh desert. They can travel as fast as horses but can also endure legendary periods of time without food or water. Humans have used camels for their wool, milk, meat, leather, and even dung that can be used for fuel.
Bactrian camels, native to the Gobi Desert in China and the Bactrian steppes of Mongolia, grow a shaggy coat in the winter for protection from the freezing cold, then shed the coat during the hot summer.

They are in great care at the San Diego Zoo! It's one of the greatest zoos in the world. You should be more concerned about the animals in the Zoos in third world countries, I can assure you, these animals have it much better.

We met this camel today. His name is Mongo. When they shed it comes off in big sheets. Doesn't hurt them, pinky swear.
