    Check out the back of the shrimp, camels have a pretty distinct hump that will set them apart.

    Or if they go to town eating your corals :lol:

    Pretty easy to tell apart, like the difference in Woodland and tigerstripe camo BDUs ;)

    oldandintheway there is no difference in Woodland and tigerstripe camo BDUs, because Whenever you drop your equipment in a fire-fight, your ammo and grenades always fall the farthest away, and your canteen always lands at your feet.:-/ Murphys law :)
