What is a cama? It is the result of a cross between a llama and a one-humped camel. The animal was created at the Camel Reproduction Centre in Dubai. It was bred in a project to make something that could make more wool than a llama with a better temperament than a camel. The cama was made through artificial insemination as a male camel is five times as heavy as a female llama.

Do you agree that love is blind? Perhaps this is the case if a zebra and donkey mate, ultimately resulting in a zonkey. This animal is a zebroid or zebra hybrid. Among all of those, the zonkey is the rarest. When it comes to genetics, donkeys and zebras are similar. The cross makes for a fascinating combination, but there is a downside to this mix. Zonkeys are typically born with dwarfism!
