Who would have thought that Europe’s largest camel farm would be right here in the Black Forest?!

Lucky for us, most of the 87 camels were inside for the day.

Liv was allowed to join the fun, but I don’t think she was much of a fan. Most of the time, she utilized the “if I look away, it’s as if they don’t exist” method.

Look away Liv, just look away.

They, however, were totally intrigued by her.

Apparently the tried and true “getting to know each other” methods span across cultures and species!

Liv gets a little sniff in the rear end!

The owner of the camel farm was really interesting. He bought his first set of camels in 1987 and has been advocating for the rightful treatment of the species ever since. He opened his camel farm in 2002 and uses it to educate the public, as well as provide therapy for autistic children. Apparently, a camel’s milk also has fantastic healing properties, but the processes of commercial distribution are still in-process.

I mean, I guess who wouldn’t fall in love with a face like this?

A face only a mother would love.

This picture is actually a hot mess of blurriness, but look at those teeth! I love it!

No editing here. Just straight-up crappy photo taking!

And then, sometimes, you just have to kiss a lot of camels, before you find…well…whatever it is you are looking for!

Alright, enough dog-torture for the day. Somebody has had just about enough.

Merry Christmas, from the Kamelhof!
