Animals of Arabia




Well, there isn't many apparently. And it seems not many can survive the brutality of the desert sun. I don't want to seem too biased but they are not particularly attractive or interesting animals here. We do our best to evoke excitement for them for the girls. These animals are so precious that they still even have shepherds guarding them day and night. But they are useful - It seems they all produce or are consumed for their food - goats and camels are both prized for their milk and meat. One restaurant I went to had "half billy goat" on the menu. Not really an enticing translation.
