Camels

wash it, comb it make it into yarn/felt

look it up on you tube

China does have deserts. The people used Bactrian camelsin the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and China.

a river stone, which looks like a humanoid head, was found at an Australopithecus living site. this was not an artifact, but a natural object. however, it must have been carried a considerable way. this is the earliest known example of 'found art', and shows that these early hominids had some aesthetic sensibilities.

Yes, there are a lot of feral camels in outback Australia. They continue to pose environmental concerns despite practices in place to control their population growth. While actual figures are unknown, estimates suggest there are close to 1,000,000 feral camels in the outback.

I'm the manager of a tobacco store. So far as I know, there are no plans to recall the Camel Crush cigarettes. Of course, things can always change, so I will update this if I hear anything different.

Cactus are plants. By bird, by bee, or by bat, they must be pollinated to flourish.

Camels are mammals, so they must eat sometime. They rely upon oases for food. It's a good thing that they (camels) are herbivores!

Camels can have feet suitable for travel on rocky ground or on sandy ground. Most of the camels imported to the U.S. in the 1800's were 'sand camels'

The Great American Desert is more rocky than sandy.

On Etsy, antique auction site, it was at $10.00 usp; but I didn't know the year. I just acquired one and would like to know value, it looks much older than the Old Joe pictured-estimating the 40's.

No, camel meat is actually low in cholesterol, high in protein and tastes very similar to beef.

dehydration. our body is 70% water and when we lose it we can grow sick because we need that water to survive. Dehydration can make us very sick and in some cases, die!!!

Although Australia has a feral camel problem, to the point where there are almost one million camels on the mainland, it does not mean one will automatically come across camels when wandering through the outback. Currently, there are approximately three camels per ten square kilometres in Western Australia.

A caravan is a company of travelers using camels to cross the Sahara.

"Alice the Camel" is used as a children's song.

They stored their own water-source; could travel long distances w/o needing to be watered - that is what makes up the hump.

The camel is important to the people of the desert due to the following reasons:

1. People in the deserts travel on camel.

2. It provides milk to them.

3. Its hair is used to make clothes.

4. Its skin is used to make tents.

5. It is used to plough the feilds.

both belong to camelid family :)

When the telegraph and the railways were build in central Australia it was found that the Camel was a great pack animal for transporting supplies and personnel. However after the job was finished they were simply turned loose. Australia is now the only country where you will find camels living in the wild.

Camels came to Australia long before the telegraph and railways were built.

The first camels were introduced into Australia in 1840 by John Ainsworth Horrocks, who opted to use them in his exploration of the arid interior. Nine camels were imported from the Canary Islands but only one, named Harry, still survived six years later, as little was understood of the camels' needs. After Harry the camel managed to shoot Horrocks while he was trying to remove his gun from its pack, leading to a lingering and agonising death for Horrocks, the animal was itself shot.

The next large group of camels was brought to Australia by George Landells in 1860 for the purpose of what would be later known as the Burke and Wills' expedition from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria. These were the predecessors of today's wild camels. Camels continued to be brought over by later explorers. It was not uncommon for the explorers and/or the Afghan cameleers to release their camels, or for the camels to escape.

Following the opening up of the interior by the explorers, the Afghan cameleers established trade routes through central Australia as, until the railways were built late in the 19th century, camels were the only means for getting goods through the inland from south to north.

A camel is in the genus Camelus. The two species of camel are the dromedary, or one-humped camel (C. dromedarius) and the bactrian, or two-humped camel (C. bactrianus).

The locomotory organ that a camel uses to walk is the hump. When a camel walks, they move both legs at once on the same side.

The one-humped camel or dromedary (camelus dromedarius) is already sporadically attested in the Early Dynastic Period, but it was not regularly used until much later. Foreign conquerors (Assyrians, Persians, Alexander the Great) brought the camel on a greater scale to Egypt. Certainly in the Ptolemaic Period, and perhaps already under the Persians (525-343 BC), the camel (also the two-humped camel, camelus bactrianus) was used as main transport animal for the desert.

b'coz they need less water to survive

It's Joshua. (also, FYI: The donkey is Sampson, the sheep is Ba Ba and the Little Drummer Boy is Aaron.)

There are mammals that are truly ectothermic. However the naked mole-rat does not regulate its body temperature in typical mammalian fashion and unlike other mammals its body temperature tracks ambient temperatures.

Camels from what is now called Saudi Arabia went to Ethiopia as early as 1700 years ago. In today's world, the camel-caravans have been mostly replaced with trucks and ships.
