Re: legs pointing forward.  I thought the same at first glance but,  
on further reflection, decided that this was correct.  When a real  
camel folds its knees up, the shoulder joint rotates up so that the  
femur points forward and the calf doubles under.  If our camel's  
femur is pointing down, then this is correct.

I definitely agree that all four legs should be the same--either up  
or down.
