Explain why it is useful for the camels to have large flat feet?

Answer 1

Because sand in the desert is very loose. Thus it is very easy for the camel to sink if it exerts a great amount of pressure on the sand. Consequently, they have large flat feet so as to reduce the pressure it exerts on the ground i.e. P=F/A.

PS:If your'e asking a question from homework or a test you've been given, at least try to make it less obvious

Answer 2

(Long Version)

Camels have long eyelashes because they are animals that typically live in the desert. when the sand get blown around, their long eyelashes prevent it from getting blown in their eyes.

Camels have flat feet because of the sand that they walk on. it's not like they walk on concrete, pavement, on gravel. They sand is relatively hot and slopey so they would need flat feet to maneuver in the best possible way.

(Short Version)

it helps them adapt to the environment. the eyelashes are like shields for its eyes so when a sandstorm comes the camels eyes stay safe.

and the feet are flat to help it walk easily on the ground (sand).

Answer 3

It keeps their feet from sinking into the shifting sands common in the desert.

Answer 4

Probably flat wide feet to be able to walk on sand without sinking. The hump is filled with fat, probably to ensure energy supply during bad times.

Answer 5

yes they do have broad feet
