North Africa already had the animals which existed in southern Europe. The process was the other way round. The Romans imported animals form north Africa and beyond: the Barbary lions and the Atlas bears of north Africa, elephants, rhinos and giraffes form deeper in Africa.
In the 1300s, goods along the West African routes were primarily transported using caravans of camels, which were well-suited for the harsh desert conditions of the Sahara. These caravans facilitated the trade of valuable commodities such as gold, salt, and ivory between various regions, including the Sahel and North Africa. Additionally, rivers like the Niger were used for transporting goods through canoes and boats, enhancing trade connectivity between inland cities and coastal areas. The intricate network of trade routes fostered economic and cultural exchanges across the region.

Camels are often considered a better source of food than cows in the Middle East due to their adaptability to arid environments and lower water requirements. They can thrive in harsh conditions where cows may struggle, providing a more sustainable source of milk and meat in regions with limited resources. Additionally, camel milk is highly nutritious and has unique health benefits, making it a valuable dietary staple in many Middle Eastern cultures. Their resilience and productivity in desert climates make camels a more reliable food source in these regions.
Camels are found both in Africa and Asia.
Camels were never native to Arizona. Any camels that ever existed in Arizona were brought over from the Middle East and Northern Africa, where they are native to. The only camels living in Arizona are held in captivity.
They began the use of camels for riding and carrying goods. This increased trade frequency.They brought their religion, Islam, to West Africa, as well as salt. Salt was something virtually unavailable in Western Africa, but because of its necessity, the West Africans traded it for gold, which they had a lot of.
They are native to the Sahara region of Africa.
No, there were only camels in Africa and Egypt
The Arabs brought the Muslim religion (Islam) to Africa.
Yes. Australia is the only country that has wild camels. The Arab traders brought them over to help transport luggage and goods, and they just started to breed, and now there is a large number of wild camels, mostly in central Australia.

The camel is sometimes called the "ship of the desert." Caravans of camels carried trade across the Sahara and northern Africa, where there were no other means of transportation.
The only continents that have camels naturally are Africa and Asia. South America has relatives of the camels - alpacas, vicunas, llamas, guanacos - but no actual camels. Australia has thousands of camels that are descendants of animals brought in during the 19th century by man that are labeled now as invasive species and a pests. North America had some camels also imported during the same century that were released. However, there are no longer any feral camels in North America. Europe and Antarctica have no natural camels.
