Video documenting camels in Mongolia

I am organising videos taken in Mongolia, where I lived for two years between 2010 and 2012.
This time I uploaded a video of a Mongolian camel to YouTube. Mongolian camels have a lid hump. Camels are one of the five most important livestock species among Mongolian nomads. (Five major livestock: cattle, horses, sheep, goats and camels)
Camels are ‘temee’ (тэмээ) in Mongolian. Camel riders are called ‘temeechin’ (тэмээчин). They are valuable livestock for riding, carrying goods and also for food.

Location: dornogovi, obus and hovd provinces.
Year of taken video: June 2010 and July 2011.
