Parting glance

These two babies were just as interested in my camera as the adults were.

Chris had asked if their noses were soft like a horse. The truth is, I don't know because they don't seem to want their noses rubbed like a horse might. Every time I have tried to pet them, they pull away, but as soon as the camera is up, they can't stay away.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/320s f/6.3 at 28.0mm iso100 full exif

Wonderful capture of these two curious young camels! From the look of it, I have to vote, soft noses.

I love how they look from this angle. I bet their noses are soft. V.

They do look kind of soft and cuddly, for such a large and ungainly animal.
