  A study involving histomorphological differentiation was conducted on the colon of 35 foetuses (both sex) of the one-humped camel collected from the Sokoto metropolitan abattoir, over a period of five months at different gestational ages. The approximate age of the fetuses was estimated and categorized into first, second and third trimester. Grossly, the color of the large intestine was whitish at first trimester and grayish to white in second and third trimester. The colon was divided into three main portions namely the ascending colon, the coiled and the descending part which formed the long part of the colon in second and third trimesters. At first trimester the coiled part was not differentiated but divided into two parts such as the centripetal and centrifugal part at second and third trimester.
