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.

Why a camel can run in desert sand easily?

Camels are specially adapted to run easily on desert sand due to their unique physical features. Their large, padded feet distribute their weight, preventing them from sinking into the soft sand. Additionally, camels have long legs that allow for greater stride length, enabling them to cover more ground efficiently.
