Folly Farm's only camel now has a new companion.

At more than seven foot tall Genghis the eight-month-old camel was transported from Twycross Zoo, near Birmingham, to the Begelly farm recently to be a new companion for resident camel, James.

Folly Farm Zoo manager Tim Morphew said: "We have been looking for a companion for James for some months now, he and Genghis seem well-matched. Camels are not the most graceful of animals, but they are one of the most amusing to watch. I hope James and Genghis will capture the hearts of our guests as much as they have the keepers."
