Exotic Farm Animals
This category deals with exotic farm animals which have become commercial enterprises in the farming community such as emu, ostrich, or yak. The treatment and care of these non traditional creatures along with certain farming techniques is discussed here.

Camels make many sounds, including moaning and groaning sounds, high-pitched bleats, and loud bellows and roars. They also make a rumbling growl which some people call nuzzing.
Bison generally do not live in the desert. They prefer arid grasslands or even woodlands. They are herbivore and require large quantities of grass.
Do all babies look the same in the womb?
in the beginning yes. you cant tell the difference between and elephant and a human embryo. as it continues to grow in the womb no, it starts to take on the parents features and grow into and individual person. think about it this way every baby looks different, so therefore its not the split second the baby comes out of the mom that it changes. so they tend to appear similar int he 1sst and 2nd tri-mester.
Sure is. In many ways its healthier than beef. The North American Plains Indians lived on it for thousands of years, until the white man nearly exterminated them in the late 1800s (the bison, that is, although I guess you could make a case for the North American Plains Indian as well..).
Commercial rabbit pellets are made of plant-based material such as wheat, soybean, hay, flax and oats, with assorted vitamins and minerals. These are all items that a deer would find attractive and palatable, and so they may very well take advantage of a free handout. Especially in the cold winter months when other food sources are scarce. However, it's not recommended as a principal food source and should not be fed to deer exclusively. Rabbit pellets are special formulated to a rabbit's dietary needs and deer my very well have other requirements.
What is the young ones of a ostrich called?
There does not appear to be a name specific to a young Ostrich according to Wikipedia. A female is called a "hen," and a male is called a "cock." It would appear to be appropriate to call a young Ostrich a chick, however I can find no evidence to support it.
Baby ostriches are called chicks.

Bison and buffalo are grazers, thus they primarily eat grasses wherever they can find, depending on what species you are referring to and where they live:
The North American Bison (also called a buffalo) subsist primarily on prairie grasses or grasses that grow in the woods (especially for those Woods Bison that live in Wood Buffalo and Prince Albert National Parks in Alberta and Saskatchewan, respectively. Wood bison can also eat leaves off of trees if they can reach them, but prefer to eat grass instead. Bison that are raised on ranches are also fed grain or alfalfa pellets or cubes as a treat, and given hay during those winters where they cannot dig for grasses or there are not enough pasture for them to eat from during the winter months.
African Cape Buffalo are also grazers like their North American cousins, and will eat grasses and tender shoots found both on the African Savannah and wading in water holes, rivers and streams, respectively. Asian Water Buffalo graze and browse on grasses, tender shoots and other plants that grow in and around streams, ponds and water holes where they like to live and freely roam.
A deer might eat a spider if it comes across it's path. Deer as a general rule do not seek out insects to eat. They eat mostly vegetables, leafy greens and berries.
Will a turtle grow bigger just becauxe you keep putting him in a larger tank?
Turtles grow according to their genetic make-up. They will grow until they reach their adult size - regardless of the size of the tank they're kept in !
"Giant" is debatable, but according to paleontologists, the camel was native to North America originally. So was the horse. Both disappeared here. The horse was re-introduced. The camel wasn't except for circuses and zoos.
How did the automobile save ostriches?
Ladies and gentlemen! Well, this is one way to say it. ...................here it come...........................are you waiting for it?..............I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!! So did you like my answer?
The Average speed fastest for a deer is 40 mph, While a horse' top speed is 35-40 mph. So the deer is faster than the horse because the deer isn't really trying. However it has not been tested.
Musk Ox life span in capitity?
Musk oxen typically have a lifespan of about 15 to 20 years in captivity. With proper care, nutrition, and a controlled environment, they can sometimes live even longer. In the wild, their lifespan is generally shorter due to predation and environmental stresses. Captive conditions often provide a safer and more stable living environment, contributing to their longevity.
Basically, bison are big animals and they don't find shelter. They have to survive in the open.
What do camels carry in their hump?
The hump(s) of a camel is their reservoir of fatty tissue. Rather than having heat-insulating fat distributed throughout the body, it is concentrated in the hump(s). The fatty tissue of the hump(s) can be metabolized for energy but a net loss in water through respiration.
Camels store fat in their humps. Most people think that they store water for when they cross the desert.
a camel's hump is a giant mound of fat, actually. In a healthy, well-fed camel, the hump can weigh as much as 80 pounds (35 kilograms)! Human beings and most animals store their fat mixed in with muscle tissue or in a layer right beneath the skin. Camels are the only animals with a hump. The hump allows a camel to survive an extremely long time (up to two weeks) without food if need be. Because camels typically live in the desert, where food can be scarce for long stretches, this is important.
The answer is obviously not water but it is fat!can you guess why it can stay long without food and stuffs?the answer is, it's fat turns to energy like it eats fat so the fat waits till the camels energy is less then it turns to fat.Not only camel can to that also us example when we do fasting and when we are ill.
Camels do not store water in their humps as is commonly believed. The humps are actually a reservoir of fatty tissue. Concentrating body fat in their humps minimizes heat-trapping insulation throughout the rest of their body, which may be an adaptation to living in hot climates.
The sand fox eats rodents, insects, rabbits, lizards, birds and marmots. The sand fox, also called the Tibetan fox, can also eat a small mammal called a pika that is found in Tibet.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. --Some of the camel spiders are being spotted in Colorado Springs, Denver's KMGH-TV reported. Some think the spiders may be coming home in the gear of soldiers as they return to Fort Carson.
Tracy School has found three of the spiders in her home in Fountain. But the ones she found were about the size of a quarter, not a man's leg.Experts say these spiders have been in Colorado all along."We have them locally; they are an arid terrain spider," said Louise Steer from the May Natural History Museum. "They'll eat every bug in your house; they're the good guy," Steer says.They can grow up to 2 inches in size in the United States, but are much smaller in Colorado.Camel spiders are also called double jawed spiders, sun spiders, sun scorpions or wind spiders and are not really spiders at all. They are solifugids, large non-spider arachnids commonly found in arid regions. They don't have venom and eat other insects, not camels.The original photo of the camel spiders began circulating on the Internet around April 1, 2004. The University of Washington's Burke Museum investigated the photo and also offered an explanation of the spiders and the original e-mail.
