Not specifically. There's one in the Torah (The first five books of the Old Testament) I think either Leviticus, Numbers, or Deuteronomy where this guy is riding a camel, and the camel stops. The guy gets off and starts hitting the camel 'cause it won't go, then the camel actually talks to him, and says look ahead of you. The guy looks and sees this big angel with a sword, and he would've been killed had he gone any further. The camel saved his life and he was beating the camel. Agh..I can't find it. I remember reading it one time and laughing..anyhow, God bless!

how about this? a rather pretty scene.
Gen 24:61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
Gen 24:62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
Gen 24:63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels [were] coming.
Gen 24:64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

There is Christs Parable where He said "It is easier for a rich man to take His Camel through the eye of a needle than to enter the Kingdom of God."
Then of course the Magi from the East rode Camels to Bethlehem bearing gifts for the Christ Child.
Other than those two, I can't remember other Camel references.

they were a common means of conveyance during the time, but no actual mention is ever made in the bible. it is presumed that the three wise men arrived on camels, but it isn't written that thy did.

(Matthew 19:24) Again I say to YOU, It is easier for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God.”
(Matthew 23:24) Blind guides, who strain out the gnat but gulp down the camel!
(Mark 10:25) It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
(Luke 18:25) It is easier, in fact, for a camel to get through the eye of a sewing needle than for a rich man to get into the kingdom of God.”
Others are;
Gensis 24;64...31;34...
Leviticus 11;4
Deuteronomy 14;7
1 Samuel 15;3
Zechariah 14;15.

The only animal I can recall in the Bible is Mary riding a jackass. You know the symbol of the Democrat party. There is a little irony for you.
