           A Closer Look At A Camel  :

A Closer Look At A Camel Camels have long curved necks, which helps them stretch for the best plant to eat. A camels thick furry coat keeps him warm at night, but it also keeps it cool on a hot day. Camels have strong and big legs, flat feet helps the camel walk long distances in the rocky desert. Camels also have humps which are stored with fat so if the camel cannot find food he uses the fat. A camels keen eyes help him spot enemies from far distances. A camels ear is very small, but it has very good hearing. A fur lining keeps the sand and dust from blowing into its ear. A camels nostrils can close to shut out sand. A camel can also eat prickly plants with his flexible, tough lips.

What Kinds Of Camels And Where They Live                :

What Kinds Of Camels And Where They Live There are two different kinds of camels. One kind of camel is a Dromedary camel this camel only has one hump. Dromedaries originally came from Arabia, but now they live in Northern Africa, Central Asia, and Australia. The other kind of camel is a Bactrian camel that has two humps. In the wild, bactrains only live in the Gobi desert in Asia. Herds of domestic camels are kept by people who live in other parts of Asia, including Russia and China.

Favorite Foods:

Favorite Foods Bactrain camels are herbivores. They eat any plants they find and even prickly plants. Hungry camels are not choosy. After a feast, camels store extra food as fat in their humps. Then, when food is hard to find, camels live off the stored fat. A hump of a well fed camel can weigh 80 pounds. A camel chews food twice. First, it swallows partly chewed plants. The food is kept in one part of its stomach. Later, this food called cud, is brought back up, chewed carefully, and then swallowed again. A camel can live without water more than five times as long as a person can. When a camel drinks water it can swallow more than 127 quarts of water in about 10 minutes. If a camel cannot find freshwater, it can drink salty water.

                  A Camels Family:

A Camels Family Bactrain camels usually travel through the Gobi desert in herds of about ten, led by the strongest male. Camels don`t have a territory. Instead, camels move from place to place to find food and water, sometimes walking 30 miles in a single day. In summer, camels live in valleys and nearby hills. In winter, they stay close to dry riverbeds, near oases.
