Camels

Camels are fascinating mammals known for their strength, resilience, and incredible adaptations that allow them to survive in some of the world’s harshest environments. Often called the “ships of the desert”, camels have been used by humans for thousands of years for transport, companionship, and work.

Their unique features, including their long legs, protective eyelashes, wide feet, and specialised humps, help them cope with extreme temperatures and challenging landscapes. Contrary to popular belief, their humps do not store water but instead store fat, which can be used as an energy source when food is scarce.
