CAMA

A cama is a hybrid between a male Dromedary camel and a female llama, produced via artificial insemination at the Camel Reproduction Centre in Dubai. The first cama was born on January 14, 1998. The aim was to create an animal with the size and strength of the camel, but the more cooperative temperament and the higher wool production of the llama. Breeding/Reproduction An adult camel weighs six times as much as a llama. Thus, artificial insemination is the only way to produce a live and thriving cama. Only the artificial insemination of a female llama with sperm from a male dromedary camel has been successful in producing a cama. Other combinations, such as artificial insemination of a female camel with male llama sperm, have not produced viable offspring. The cama is not sterile because, unlike other well known hybrids, the camel and the llama have the same number of chromosomes. This is not generally true for other successful livestock hybrids, such as the mule. For example, the horse has 64 chromosomes and the donkey has 62, so when they breed it produces an animal with 63 chromosomes, namely, the mule. The first cama showed signs of becoming sexually mature at four years of age, when it started to show signs of wanting to breed with the female guanaco and a female llama. At this stage, the first cama was a disappointment behaviorally, displaying an extremely poor temperament. A more recent story suggests that his behavior is generally more gentle as hoped for. The second cama, a female named Kamilah, was successfully born in 2002. Four camas have since (April 2008) been produced using artificial insemination. Characteristics The cama is smaller than a llamas calf at birth. It has the short ears and long tail of the camel, no hump and llama-like two-toed pads rather than the dromedary like pads. All six camelids have pads instead of hooves. It has a long coat like a llama and it can adapt to a desert setting like a camel and to a mountain setting like a llama. The first cama, the male named Rama, has a beige color and the second, the female named Kamilah, is black with white patches. There are not enough camas to make generalizations about their coloration or how their hair will grow. Comparison with other camelids The camelid family consists of the Old World camelids (the Dromedary and Bactrian camels), and the New World camelids, (the llama, vicuna, alpaca, and the guanaco). Even though there have been successful and fertile hybrids within each major group camelids, this is the first time the groups have been crossbred. Following is a table comparing some characteristics of camelids.

Cama

Camelus dromedarius*Lama glama

Habitat The cama is relatively hardy and can survive with little or no water for long periods just like a camel. The cama has proved that it is possible to breed old and new world species together. Food The cama is an herbivore and it eats shrubs, and almost any plant matter like a camel. It can drink enormous amounts of water after a long time without water. It can also go without food for short periods.
