What noise do camels make?

[Countrygirl13]

I'm reading to my 10 month old and books like 'dear zoo' have a selection of animals i feel obliged to make the noises for. Lions and snakes always get a great reception from my LO but i struggle with elephants and paticularly camels. I tend to go 'grump grump grump' for the grumpy camels. Any alternatives out thre? Thanks!

Haha! My girls love this book. I always do a sort of grumpy "Hmmmph!" for a camel. As for the elephant, I just make any old noise and pretend my arm is my trunk! My brother is amaaazing at an elephant noise, but I just sound ridiculous if I try it.

Hahaha! This is so funny as I encountered this exact problem at bedtime. I made a kind of 'hoooo' noise without thinking but luckily at 2.5 LO doesnt know any better. Maybe some googling needed before Dear Zoo again.

Camels are really miserable. I *think* they might make a creaky sort of sighing sound when they are made to do anything - sort of like an 'Aaah-aaah', through the nose.

I am basing this on a game I used to play (Age of Mythology, and the camels that you were meant to use to carry gold were lazy, moaning, thick twats) so don't quote me on that ...

Camels spit!
For a camel I say "patooey!"

I did grumpy grumpy grumpy as well. The worst one is the giraffe!

With my DS I pulled a grumpy face with my bottom lip sticking right out, and even now when he is in a mood I call him a grumpy camel. With the giraffe I made an ascending noise and looooooooong neck, and it was a good couple of years before he called it a giraffe and not long neck. The things you do!

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who makes a spitting noise for the camel! My oh thought I was bonkers. for the giraffe I do a weird lip chewing movement as though I'm munching leaves from a tall branch...
