Brief description: This chap is molting it's coat, hence
the scruffy appearance. As the normal habitat of the camel
is the deserts of Mongolia, winters are extremely cold
whilst the summers are hot, therefore they molt during
March.
Due to the ungainly gate, they are often nicknamed "The
Ship of the Desert"
