This is the incredible moment two camels on the loose are seen hopping along a motorway almost as if a couple in love making their escape into the sunset.
The animals were filmed sprinting alongside traffic in Hohhot, a city in northern China’s Inner Mongolia region.
In the video – captured by a car passenger – two adult camels can be seen galloping down the right-most lane before turning onto a side street.
The clip attracted widespread attention after it was shared on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok, with the caption: “Come to Hohhot for a trip, where even the camels are free-range!”
It gained over 400,000 likes and more than 70,000 comments, with many netizens saying the camels look like two workers being happy to get off work and others saying they look like a cute couple.
One user titled ‘sweet mummy’ said in a comment: “The one on the left seems especially happy to be running.”
Another user titled ‘sunset’ said: “They seem like know that the right turn leads towards the grassland.”
And user ‘d. the y’ wrote: “This is the first time I’ve seen a camel run. I always thought they were slow-going and steady animals.”
