Use of Camel in Art
editI think there ought to be a section discussing the camel's representation in art, at least briefly. Here is an example:
The camel, which transported luxury goods, became a symbol for wealth and camel statues would adorn the graves of the rich during the Han period of Ancient China. [1] The practice peaked in the Tang period before fading away. The Mantle of Roger II, produced in 1133/1134, shows mirrored image of a lion dominating on the back of a camel. The piece is thought to represent the Christian rule over Sicily and North Africa, and the camels are bridled, suggesting domestication. [2] In Renaissance art, the camel represents the exotic and biblical.

There is a large, empty space between the title Extant Species and the table of the three camel species. It would appear that it's formatted too close to the quick facts sidebar, which pushes it down far past where it's supposed to be Fadran (talk) 23:07, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Done I slightly reduced the width of the table so that it no longer overlaps the infobox, which was causing it to render below the infobox. Thanks. Jamedeus (talk) 23:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
