You are wrong again. Camel hair brushes are made from camel hair, althought some so-called camel hair brushes are from other hair animal hairs as well as man-made. Especially used by artists, brushes are made from a variety animal hairs and synthetic. The synthetic is usually made of nylon, and of natural hairs the ones the are used come from these few animals: about 3 different species of sable, squirrel, hog, camel, ox, pony, goat and even mongoose. So you're wrong again.
