BRITISH VETERINARIAN LULU SKIDMORE POSES WITH CAMEL/LLAMA CROSSBREED IN DUBAI, 1998-03-26 (photo)

British veterinarian Lulu Skidmore, of Kent, poses with a two-and-a-half month old cama, a crossbreed between a female llama (R) and a male dromedary camel at a reproduction centre in the desert 30 km from Dubai March 26. The cama, a male named Rama, weighed 5.5 kg at its premature birth and has sinced grown to 22 kg, shares the physique of its 80 kg mother and facial features of its 650 kg father. The centre is owned by Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, who is also an avid owner of two thoroughbreds in Saturday's $4 million Dubai World Cup horse race, and primarily functions as a breeding clinic for racing camels.
