DescriptionThis image depicts two Bactrian camels in their enclosure at the Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The enclosure consists on a large grassy area, the trunk of a tree, and a wooden structure that is visible on the right side of the frame behind the tree trunk. The enclosure is surrounded by a fence made of metal mesh. The camels are standing in the center of the frame. Only the camel closest to the camera is fully visible. Only the other camels’ legs are visible. The visible camel is facing the left side of the frame, has two humps, and is currently wearing a bridle on its head.
