I can believe in the talking snake, the whole human race coming from two people, and the giant flood destroying the earth. It's the camels that the Bible got wrong.
Seriously the Bible is filled with a great many unusual and unlikely claims. The 'camels thing' is just a tiny speck of icing on a much, much larger cake.

New research using radioactive-carbon dating techniques shows the animals weren't domesticated until hundreds of years after the events documented in the Book of Genesis. The research was published by Erez Ben-Yosef and Lidar Sapir-Hen, archaeologists from Tel Aviv University in Israel. They believe camels were not domesticated in the eastern Mediterranean until the 10th century B.C.

This paragraph is baffling. When, exactly, were the events of Genesis supposed to have taken place? It's as though they have a fixed date for it.
