Some interesting point about The Arabian Camels



         Arabian camels have been domesticated for approximately 3,500 years and have been long valued as pack animals. Throughout history, humans have in fact assured the survival of camels for thousands of years and quite literally led them to success as a species that they probably would never have had on their own. Furthermore, the camel has played such an important role in Arab culture and have served the needs of humans, and have benefited from that service as a species. In fact,  the  Arabs had used camels for transporting and trading. Nowadays, camels are still important in Arab culture .There are some interesting pint that I write it down to know a little  bit about it .






-      Camels have sympathy for humans and get attached to them, such as if a human was upset with the camel it will be crying all night. 

-    Camels never forget and have incredible memory and can hold a grudge for example, if u didn’t feed it will remember you.

-    Camels eye lashes are so thick.  It was made that way to protect it eyes from the sand

-    Camels have a very good memory and they prefer the dessert and hot and humid rather than the rain but can also live in both.

-     Camels can be over 1 million U.S. dollars or more to buy.

-   There is always one or two camels as a leader , always male.
-      Camels can go without water and food for 8 days in a 50 degree weather.

-    Camels buttermilk can cure aliments also true for its urine.

-     The name comes from the Arabic word “jamel” meaning “beauty”

-    A camels hump does not store water. It stores fat, lessening heat-trapping insulation around the rest of the body 





-     Camels can drink up to 40 gallons of water in one go

-     Their temperature ranges from 34 degrees celsius at night to 41 degrees during the day. They do not begin to sweat until they are 41 degrees 
.
-    The camels sexual organs is in fact the lining of the mouth extruded during mating calls or sometimes to heighten the effect of “spitting”

-     Camels lie down to rest and sleep and good luck getting them up if they decide they don’t want to.

-.     Camels lips are split to help them graze.

-     They can eat anything including thorny twigs without injuring their mouths

-. Camles can kick in all four directions with each of their legs

-. They can close their eyes against wind and sand when necessary

-. The shape of their nostrils allows them to retain water vapor and return it to the body as fluid

- They can lose 25% of their body fluids without getting dehydrated. Most mammels can only lose 15%

-. Camels are ruminates like cows and goats

-. Eating green plants give them the moisture they need without drinking

- Their coat reflects sunlight and insulate it from the desert heat

-. One of the camels defense is “spitting” where they essentially throw up a foul smelling greenish fluids from their stomach all over you when provoked. For those who have experienced it, it seems never ending and is never forgotten.

-. Camels feces are so dry, they are used for fuel and their urine is thick as syrup


-. Camels have been used in wars throughout history, especially in the desert regions,
