The camel is known as the ship of the desert. It has been the mode of transport across the harshest desert for centuries. A camel is one of the hardiest animals around. It can go without food and water for days together. Its feet are heavily padded. This keeps the sand and the heat out. Its capacity to walk at a brisk pace for eternity is legendary.
The hide of the camel is extremely tough. It also has a natural cooling mechanism to counter the intense heat in the day. The hide acts as a warm blanket in the icy desert nights. The eye lids of the camel are very heavy; this ensures that sand and dust does not penetrate. The most interesting aspect of the camel is its hump. Depending on the species a camel could have one or two humps. These humps are made of fat. They are actually reserves of food. They help the camel to sustain for days on end without food.
