Camels are adapted to the desert, and can go for many days without water. They were ideal for a pack animal because they don't require any kind of hydrocarbon fuel and have big feet as not to sink into the sand. I've never touched a camel before but I bet they're really fluffy. There is one at a nearby zoo and it's coat sheds a lot during the summer. Llamas are really nice and soft. I've never been spit at by one but i bet it isn't very nice. They also had baby llamas and they were really scared of you. We used to pick bark out of a tree and the llamas would munch on it. I wanted to try the bark but its wood. I don't eat wood. Camels might eat wood though, I wonder if they would've liked that bark too. Oh yeah, at the farm I was at with the llamas they also had these really cute little goats that would roll over and be paralyzed when they're scared. It was hard to scare them though. I heard that they do that when in danger because if they saw a wolf or something the wolf would go after the paralyzed goat instead of the sheep it was guarding. Speaking of farmers, I want to have a garden in my backyard so during the next apocalypse I can have a reliable source of food.

Yes, people did ride camels on the Silk Road. Camels were well-suited for the harsh desert conditions, capable of traveling long distances without water. They served as essential pack animals for transporting goods, making them vital for trade along this ancient route connecting the East and West. Their ability to carry heavy loads and navigate challenging terrains made them indispensable for merchants and travelers.
Cabot explored for a Northwest passage to Asia, from which merchants could trade. They originally used the Silk Road, but there were bandits and thieves on the road, since at parts it was not near civilization. Also, they could only use camels to travel and carry the goods, but they did not carry nearly as much as a big merchant ship.

It costs more money to ship goods along on the Silk Road.
They risked their lives to get silk,pepper,rugs,etc. to sell them at their home and get a lot more money and profit for them.
