{"Image ImageDescription": "SUNSHINE COAST, QUEENSLAND - APRIL 05:  Camels queue in the milking yards of QCamel dairy on April 5, 2016 on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. QCamel, founded by Lauren Brisbane and her family in 2014 is leading the way in the Australian camel dairy industry. QCamel produces a creamy nutrient rich pasteurised milk with a similar taste to cow's milk with a slightly salty aftertaste. Considerably higher in vitamin C, vitamin B6, iron and lower in lactose than cow's milk, demand for camel milk is growing, with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation recognising camel milk as a nutritious resource with fantastic potential. Camels have adapted to harsh and arid climates around the world and have been milked for thousands of years supporting the Bedouin and nomadic cultures of the Middle East region. Camel milk can now be found in supermarkets in the United Arab Emirates, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, and the United States. Lauren Brisbane's approach to dairy farming is one of love and respect for the animal, their camels are known by name and roam in pasture throughout the day with their babies and live in a natural herd environment. Babies remain with their mothers and drink from them for two years, the dairy share the milk with the calf ensuring the calf grows meeting all their milestones in growth and weight. They come to the dairy of their own free will and are not tied up or ever forced to milk. (Photo by Lisa Maree Williams/Getty Images)", "Image Copyright": "2016 Getty Images"}
