Camel: The Ship of the Desert


There are a lot of animals in the world that are useful to humans. Camels are one of these animals. They are unique, and have many wonderful features. In this essay, I will talk about the camel because it is one of my favorite animals. I will explain why it is important to people, and what makes it a wonderful animal.


Camels have been known to humans since ancient times. They were important at a time when cars and transportation did not exist. Camels can walk very long distances, and people have used them to travel from one place to another. The camel can survive for a long time without food or water. This is because of the fat stored in its hump, which helps it survive a week without water, and a few months without food. Camels eat grasses, leaves, and bushes. They can also eat cactus. The camel has four long legs. It also has a long neck and big ears. There are two types of camels. The first type is the one-humped camel, which lives in the Middle East and North Africa. The second type is the two-humped camel, which lives in Central Asia. Transportation is not the only benefit of the camel. People can have its meat and milk too. Some people also use camel wool to make clothes. As for camel milk, it is very nutritious. It contains many vitamins and minerals, and it is used to make cream, soap, and skin care products.


Camels have a nickname, which is the "ships of the desert". They are one of the few animals that have the ability to live in the desert, where the climate is dry and hot. Camels are truly amazing animals. This is why in some cultures they are a symbol of patience, strength, and courage.
