1997...
Three camels are being used as surrogate mothers to raise hybrid camas at the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Camel Reproduction. But at least two camels may lose or may have already lost the foetuses, according to Project Director Dr Lulu Skidmore.
The centre stunned the world in January 1997 when Rama the Cama, the first of a new species, was born from a llama mother fertilised with camel semen. The birth put the centre on the map as a pioneering leader in cross-breeding and prompted other scientists to try to duplicate Dubai's success.
