Why can camels run in desert easily?
Camels have broad, flat, leathery pads with two toes on each foot. When the camel places its foot on the ground the pads spread, preventing the foot from sinking into the sand. When walking, the camel moves both feet on one side of its body, then both feet on the other. This gait suggests the rolling motion of a boat, explaining the camel's "ship of the desert" nickname.
We cannot walk comfortably on sand but camels can run in a desert easily?
Answer: It is because camel’s feet have large surface area, the force of their weight is distributed over a large area of sand. The pressure produced on sand is small and hence, a camel’s feet do not sink into the sand. On the other hand, a man’s feet have a small surface area, the force of their weight is distributed over a smaller area of sand. The force per unit area or pressure produced on sand is large in this case due to which a man’s feet sink into sand and it becomes difficult for him to walk on sand.
Why can camels walk on the sand?
well, they have fat storage in their hump so they don't get hungry. they're also native to the Arabian desert and it's climate so obviously it will be easy for them to walk in such hot and arid conditions. In terms of the actual walking, the hoof is incredibly wide and gives the camel a lot of traction because of the increased contact area. That allows them to push through sand that would not give traction to humans.
How do you camels stop the desert sand from getting in their mouth?
A camel is able to shut his nose whenever it wants but not for to long so as soon as it shuts its nose it will run until it has found a safe place, camels have to be quick as they need to breathe eventually.

What do camels do for protection in the desert?
Protection from what? One thing includes sandstorm protection. Camels drop down onto their knees to make a smaller target. In caravans, the people can hide with a camel, which can be very helpful. After sandstorms, they usually become deeply buried in the sand. They also have long eyelashes for blocking out sand. Camels can also run pretty fast (for animals with knobbly knees).
