Abstract

 30 foetuses of dromedary camel were used in this study and the age ranged from 5 cm CVRL (79 days of age) to 132 cm CVRL (426 days of age). The left and right metanephros, during the first trimester, were elongated and had the same size, had no clear medullary tissue, reddish-brown in colour, but got paler with gestation. Then the shape changed to bean-shaped. The medulla was a gelatinous transparent material neither formed distinct renal crest nor renal pelvic. The left and right metanephroses were lobulated during the second trimester. During the third trimester, the left and right metanephros lost their lobulation.  The left and right metanephroses became different in shape and in other biometrical parameters.
