Camels with Anna Jemmett

On Wildlife

Join us this month as we explore the captivating world of an animal that thrives in some of Earth's most challenging environments. Despite their unconventional appearance, these creatures boast remarkable adaptations for survival in extreme conditions. Alex is joined by special guest, Anna Jemmett, an ecologist at the Wild Camel Protection Foundation with years of dedicated research on these incredible beings to teach us everything we didn’t know. So, pack a few extra water bottles as we set out on a desert expedition to unravel the secrets and resilience of the extraordinary camel.

*Producer's note: Anna would like to apologize for the neocolonial language she uses in this episode. It was done so in ignorance. Now that this error has been brought to her attention, she will refrain from using this language moving forward. The appropriate descriptions are "Camelini" to describe the tribe containing the Dromedary, Bactrian and wild camel and "Lamini" to describe the tribe containing llamas, alpacas, cicunas and guanacos.
