Growling Saharan camels, Aswan

Feb 16, 2023, 04:17 PM

"Camels are known to make a variety of sounds, including growling, which is a low, guttural sound that is often associated with aggression or discomfort. Camels may growl when they feel threatened or when they are trying to assert dominance over other camels.

"They may also growl when they are in pain or when they are experiencing other forms of distress. In the context of a Nubian village, you might hear camels growling if they are being led through the village, if they are being loaded or unloaded from a vehicle, or if they are being groomed or cared for in some way."
