What is the Similarity between camel and horse?

Answer 1

A camel has a hump and a horse has a removable hump. Ha ha. Seriously speaking, though, if well treated, a camel is more affectionate, inquisitive, and attention-seeking than horses, but they are less predictable.

As far as the difference involved in riding these animals, camels need less food and water than horses do, so you can take them on longer journeys where there aren't as many water sources.

Camels are quieter and gentler than horses are. They are less spooky, yet they sometimes buck just for the pure pleasure of it.

Camels are better at getting themselves out of precarious situations.

Camels can carry more weight than horses.

Camels foot falls are quieter on the ground. They do not need to be shod.

Camels do not colic the way horses do.

A camel seems to have a mind that is more complicated and interesting than a horse's mind.

Camels are more barn sour and herd sour than horses are. It's very difficult to get one away from its home or its buddies. They are not as willing to move out as horses are, and they have less agility, and are less responsive to cues.

It's very hard to find a well-trained camel. It's also hard to find a good camel trainer.

Camels need custom made trailers.

It's hard to find a good camel veterenarian.

Camels are harder on fences than horses are.

Answer 2

A camel is a ruminant, i.e., it has four stomachs and chews cud and it is cloven-hooved and is like a llama, alpaca and they will all spit stinky ewie cud on you if they are in a mood; a horse has one stomach does not chew cud and has single solid hooves, its nearest relatives are the elephant and the hippo.

Horses have a "Flight or Flight" instinct [2]. That instinct also enables them to sleep standing up, or laying down [2]. Horses make very good pets, and can also be very handy in transportation/work. They live from 25 - 30 years on average [3].

Horses can count up to 4, solve problems, and remember certain speeds[4]. There are three main kinds of horses, the Cold Bloods[5.1], the Hot Bloods[5.2], and the Warm Bloods[5.3], all of which are used and mated for different things.

The horses body is simple, and can tell a lot about the actual horse. Such as the teeth of the horse can be used to guesstimate the age of the horse[6]. Another odd feature of the horse, is the fact that horses cannot vomit, which regularly leads to digestion problems that later lead to Colic, which is the leading death factor in horses[7].

Horses weigh from 840 pound, up to 2,200 pounds[8]. That's as much as a Mozda Next-Gen MX-5 (car) [8.5]. A weird fact about horses, and how they haul their weight is that their feet are equal to our fingertips. The bone used to create their hooves is essentially the same as the bone in human fingertips, with a coating of cartilage around it[9].

The eyes of the horse are lateral-eyed, meaning set on the side of the head. This allows them to have a vision range of 350°. About 65° is binocular vision whereas the rest of the 285° is monocular vision[10]. Aside from amazing vision they also have excellent hearing. Because the pinna of each ear can rotate 180°, it gives the horse ability to hear 360° without turning or moving its head[11].

Horses can live in a certain kind of area, but long ago adapted to a wide-open terrain with scarce vegetation, that no other large grazing animals could[12]. Horses are found as north as England, and as south as Africa, but thrive the best away from hot weather.

Humans have had many uses, such as transportation for horses since 4000BC when humans first domesticated them[13]. If used for transportation, the horse can gallop up to 30MPH [14], with the record being 55MPH[15]. Living up to 30 years[16], they also provide meat, milk, hide, hair, bone, and pharmaceuticals from pregnant mare urine.

Now camels on the other hand, are much like horses, but more complex. Camels can live up to 50 years on average[1], and weight from 500 to 1,400 pounds[2]. Unlike horses, camels have 2 toes, and is actually not in the same family as horses as many people would speculate.

A camels body is very complex so the camel can adapt to the heat of where it lives (Middle eastern areas). Camels don't need water very often because unlike any other mammal known to man, the camel has oval shaped red blood cells instead of the normal circular red blood cells. These oval shaped cells make it easier for the blood to flow in a dehydrated state[3]. Oval shaped red blood cells are also believed to be more stable than the circular blood cells, and won't burst when the camel drinks a large amount of water[3]. Unlike many people think, the camels hump does not hold water, its actually a fatty tissue that the camel used to metabolize to turn the fat into energy. This is one of the reasons camels don't need water or food as often[4].

Camels living in hot areas survive because the camels body has adapted to create new ways of cooling the camel off, or warding off the heat. One of these ways is that the camels sweat is evaporated at skin level(Instead of above the fur), and helps cool the camel better[5]. The camel can sweat up to 25% of its body weight whereas a human can only sweat 15% of their body weight without going into cardiac arrest[6]. Another thing that allows the camel to live in hot areas is that throughout the day and night, the camels body temperature starts at 93°F, and rises to 106°F[7]. And lastly, the camels fur reflects sunlight, making it harder for the sun to actually hit the camel[7].

Camels live in deserts and like places. Aside from all the ways camels beat the heat(as shown above) there are a few more things that allow the camel to live in such places. For example the camels mouth is very rough, making it possible to eat thorny or plants that would normally hurt other animals[8]. A camel can even eat through non natural objects, such as leather or rope.

Humans from these areas benefit greatly from the camels, because camels provide transportation, meat, milk, and blood[9]. The camels milk is rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Camel milk is also lower in cholesterol and fat than cow milk, and can be turned into butters, and cheeses. Camel blood, is a great source of vitamin D, and iron, and certain religions call drinking it.

Humans have known and used camels since 2000BC, and they have also been commonly used in wars becauseof their ability to scare off horses at close ranges. Camels in combat have been known to reach up to 40MPH in spurts, but can only maintain a 25MPH average

I just did an essay on this, and i copied and pasted the main paragraphs. The random numbers where my citations that I'm not gonna bother to put here, but overall I hope this helped.

And I hope there wasn't too many loose ends because I didn't put the whole essay here..... Have fun!

Answer 5

camels have humps on their back, The humps on a camel's back are actually huge heaps of fat and flesh that can weigh as much as 80 pounds in a healthy camel. These humps help camels survive for weeks without food and water.

When water and food become scarce on the deserts where camels roam, the fatty humps serve as stored food and are used for nourishment. As the camel's body metabolizes or uses up the humps' stored fat, the hump becomes smaller and flabbier. So the longer the camel goes without eating, the smaller its hump gets. The size of a camel's hump helps determine a camel's health, food sources, and overall well-being.

Horses' anatomy enables them to make use of speed to escape predators and they have a well-developed scene of balance and a strong fight-or-fight instinct.horses are used for sports e.g. horse racing and are also kept as pets (farm)

hope that helps
