If an African mousebird is 2 feet tall, then the camel is 4 times as tall, which means:

Height of the camel = 4 * Height of the mousebird
Height of the camel = 4 * 2 = 8 feet

To convert the height of the camel from feet to inches, we need to multiply by 12 since there are 12 inches in one foot:

Height of the camel = 8 feet * 12 inches/foot = 96 inches

Therefore, the camel is 96 inches tall.
