Solution: Have the local police take DNA swabs from all the local male Muslims. The mystery of the pregnant camel will be revealed, and then slap the new father with a paternity suit.

but FR then I would have had to post it because nobody else
would have thought of it. Good work, FReeper.

What does one do with camels as livestock. I know that some people milk camels. Does any one eat camel steaks and such?

The fur is very nice, especially from the two-hump variety.

Camel hair coats, camel hair paint brushes.

...and when raised without violent training, like they do in arabia, they are actually pleasant animals to be around.

Thank you for the information.

So the camel’s reputation for being nasty is actually due to mohammedan abuse. Surprise! Surprise!
