A medical team in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has successfully delivered the world's first test tube camel using invitro fertilization technology, the official WAM news agency said Saturday.

The delivery came after four years of research in a bid to improve camelidae through she camels only.

"The UAE is the first country in the world to successfully apply the embryo transfer technology," Professor Abdul Haq Anwassy, head of the theriogenology section of Camel Research Center in Abu Dhabi, told WAM.

According to the center's experts, the application of such technology will help save a certain specimen of camels.
