Depends on the brush. Some use horse hair, hog's hair, squirrel hair, synthetic hair... All these brushes achieve different results, but the type of hair will dictate how course or fine the brushstrokes will be, and what medium they're good for. Ideal watercolor brushes will be more absorbent and easy to bend and return to their shape, but if used with oil paints, they will be ruined. Oil paints require a harder paintbrush that will retain its shape against the thick medium, and so coarser hair would be used for that.

What is a camel hairs brush made of?
Camel hair brushes, used by artists, is a generic term for brushes that are made from all different types of hair such as goat, pony or sheep. BUT, the most common and most recognized, is squirrel. (I sometimes use them in my work! painting portraits and lucky Indalos as good luck gifts) "Camel hair" brush is a big hint that it's real animal hair but of a lower quality so would not be used in a high quality brush. For example: Mack Brush Co uses Pony & Goat Hair. No Camel hair in a Camel hair brush. The cost of a "Camel" hair brush is far lower than a good quality brush. I usually throw them away rather than clean them. I buy them in bulk at around $0.10 to $0.35 a piece.
