Thirsty work: The Fossett's have a drink with their camels at The Horseshoe Inn in the nearby town of Shipton on Stour, Warwickshire
Affinity: Mr Fossett, who was raised in a circus family, has always had a long-standing connection with the towering mammals, which can grow to seven feet tall and weigh 2,000lbs
Village visitors: Despite normally being found roaming the Gobi desert or Arabian plains, these six camels - which cost £10,000 each - can today be seen on the street of Warwickshire
Hobby: Mr Fossett, 52, said: 'They are such great animals, all with their own intricate personalities'
Business brains: The family, who have turned their bizarre pets into a thriving business, regularly take friends, family and paying customers on treks across the countryside
Reaction: Mrs Fossett added: 'We go out in public with them once or twice a week - sometimes for a trek. People love seeing them'
Camel chauffeurs: Mrs Fossett runs an errand in the town while her husband holds on to the reins
Part of the family: The couple with Ruby, Sahara, Sophia, Kokoso, Kazak and Veneta
Expensive: They get through 400 bales of hay a year, thousands of gallons of water and feed them on a diet of sugar beat, barley and oats
Pricey pets: Incredibly, such is the value of the UK's only camel herd, the pair have public liability insurance totalling a staggering £5 million
Here to stay: Mr Fossett said: 'They aren't the cheapest pets that's for sure, but we wouldn't change it for a thing'作者: qqonqq 時間: 2012-6-23 07:06 AM 標題: 英國夫婦養6隻駱駝做寵物(圖)
