Do Camels Have Toes?

When a person wears pants that are much too tight or pulls the waistline up too high, the fabric tends to stretch in some areas and gather in others so as to expose certain anatomical crevices. This fashion faux pas is sometimes referred to as a ‘camel toe’.

Do camels really have toes? What does a camel’s foot actually look like?? Not having seen a camel’s foot, I don’t understand this analogy.

Thanks.

You can see for yourself where the name came from.

Hey! Look what I found when looking for camel toes :slight_smile: .

http://www.cameltoe.org

It didn’t take long :slight_smile: . I spotted that site earlier when looking for a real camel’s toe.

In a blatent attempt to post a link to a funny picture by vaguely tying it in to the the OP, I’d like to draw attention to the fact that, as far as cameltoe.org are concerned, there’s a male equivalent. See this Bon Scott picture (at the bottom).

The squirrel toe is too funny not to link to (also at the bottom).
