Here's a news flash:

I went to a zoo last week and saw a couple of very old, very hairy bactrian camels.

Now let's say you draw a representation of a bactrian camel. Oh, you'd probably draw those humps with lovely rounded curves, right? Well, wrong in the case of these elderly camels.

One, whose humps were still functional, I suppose, had two sharp triangles on its back--sharp-peaked, but somewhat flabby humps, not curved at all. Think: side of a pyramid rather than curve.

The other, a truly elderly fellow, had humps that hung at its side like saddlebags, no joke. Those humps were long past their standing up days. It was pitiful to me, somehow, to see those humps hanging their triangular selves over on the side of the belly of that bactrian. Embarrassing somehow. Of course, in the camelian way of thinking I guess hanging humps could be viewed something akin to a badge of honor or an old man's beard. Hope it wasn't a female. It would be a shame to think of those saggy humps as an old woman's beard.
