They have padded and elastic soles that help them travel on the rough terrain i.e. the desert. Their soles are also very tough and impermeable, and it ensures that they don't sink into the sand. Hope this helps!

∙ 15y agoCamels spend most of their time on their feet. Most of their time spent upon their feet is also spent under the load of pasengers and loaded down with a burden. The Camel itself is a heavy creature to begin with and when it is finaly time rest anything short of a Heavy duty reinforced knee would blow out leaving the camal to be put out of its misery and served for up for a barbeque. I would compare the Camels knees to other large beasts of burden.. most have larger than standard knee size for weight ratio... But the Camel which is an "all terrain" version of animal is also one that frequents sand and other loose footing combined with steep terain.. all of these things would put a beating upon "normal" knees. If that happened to be what they were born with then they would live very long.

∙ 12y agoCamels are amazing creatures with incredible stamina. Because they are used to living in such harsh, and dry conditions their bodies are adapted to living many days without water which make them great replacements for horses in the desert to carry you and your belonging places. (Also, contrary to popular belief, the camel's humps do not store water, they store fat. The fat benefits them because there is little food in the desert, by having a large storage of fat they can go quite a few days without eating. With regards to water though, camels can tolerate very high temperatures without sweating. Sweating means they lose water from their bodies, by having such a high threshold for heat, they do not lose excess water, storing more in their body tissues).

also the wide feet help the camel not to sink in the deep sand.

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.
