Addax are endangered and Marwell has already had considerable success in breeding these animals. . Norman has left for Woburn Safari Park and Cynthia has now joined our two other camels, Wacker and Tabatha in Encounter Village. Cynthia is currently the oldest mammal in the Park and is thirty-five years old which is a good age for a camel. She is apparently very happy in Encounter Village because she enjoys the more frequent appearance of visitors to that area. Norman was a youngster at seven and inclined to worry a senior citizen camel.
Bactrian camels come from the deserts and arid grasslands of Central Asia.
Their humps store fat and they have thick coats which they shed in summer. Big new observation windows are under construction to give a wonderful view of the tigers.
