Camels

[Newborn]

I could be wrong, but camels appear to have split hooves and chew the cud. Were they considered clean animals, and thus edible?

[Kamatu]

Lev 11:3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
Lev 11:4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

From the front it appears that a camel has a split (cloven) hoof, but it is joined in the back, so it is not fully split.

Thanks Kamatu! Those camels will never know how close they came.
