What are the different breeds of camels called?
There two different types of camels. Those types are Dromedary camels, which are the Middle Eastern variety with one hump and the Bactrian camels which are Asian and have two humps.
Why do camels foam at the mouth?
Camels will sometimes spit or foam at the mouth to cool themselves down. Another reason is that they may have rabies.
Why do camels have little hair on their body?
"hair becasue they are mammals"
This is actually a horrible explanation. Humans are mammals because we have hair. Dogs are mammals because they have fur.
Camels are mammals, and the numerous sources I've viewed indicate that camels have hair, rather than fur.
Again, to say, "hair [because] they are mammals," is rather ignorant to the definition of "mammal." All mammals have hair or fur.
What enemies does a Camel have?
Answer 1
Humans destroy natural camel habitats. They have also captured and domesticated around 90% of all camels, so wild camels are very rare.
Wolves hunt camels in the wild. But only on the rare occasion because camels are rather large and difficult to bring down for a pack of wolves.
Asiatic Lions hunt wild camels.
Caspian Tigers hunted wild camels. Caspian Tigers were declared excint in the 1970's due to illegal fur hunting.
Vultures stalk critically ill or dying camels and pick the meat off their bones either as they lay on the ground dead or dying.

Answer 2
Camels have few real enemies. The main threat to a camel is the harshness of its surroundings (the desert). that is why the camel is developed to survive in the hot, sandy climate of the desert.
What animal is a camels friend?
I wouldn't necessarily say that a camel has a friend, but an animal they do get along with would probably be a bird or a marsupial. I don't think they wold get along with a dingo or coyote, or a CAMEL SPIDER!
Yes foxes will bite but only if scared or being tormented.
"Occasionally the press reports attacks on children that are said to be by foxes, but very often the bite wounds do not appear to be typical fox bites. It is not impossible that a child could be bitten by a fox but, if it occurs, it is extremely rare. In comparison, the risk of injury from domestic dogs and cats is very much higher. For example, in the USA about 5 million people are bitten by dogs each year and 15 to 20 people die from dog bites yearly. Most of the victims are children. Similarly, there are more than 400,000 cat bites each year in the USA. There are no good statistics from Britain, but it is likely that the number of dog and cat bites is around a fifth of those recorded in the USA. Even in countries where rabies is present, humans are much more likely to be bitten by a rabid domestic dog than by a fox.
The risks of people being attacked by a fox are negligible compared to the risks of being attacked by a domestic dog or cat."

Camel's have humps for a reason. Inside their humps is where they store all their fat and water. Their hump is basically like a supply of all that they will need on their long journey accross deserts and such. So to answer your question directly: not far! They carry it with them!

Where will you find a ostrich in the wild?
Africa north and south of the Sahara, East Africa, and zoos.
Foxes purr. they also bark (high pitch). I had a couple to rehab, then return to wild. They came from a vixen that was killed. When they were happy, or more accurately content (favorite food, relaxing on a full belly) they purred... rather loudly in fact. They were never really "tame", but they relied on me for food for a while. Favorite food, hate to admit it, but they actually do go nuts for chicken. I only have experience with Grey Foxes, don't know about reds.

What animal is a large flightless bird that looks like an ostrich related to the emu?
This description fits the emu of Australia, but it does not really look like an ostrich. Another member of this family is the rhea of South America.
The ostrich, emu, rhea and cassowary are all ratites, a group of flightless birds characterised by having chest muscles undeveloped enough for flight.
How big are adult water buffalo horns?
Each individual horn can average to grow up to 3 to 4 feet in length. It's much harder to measure spread since they don't grow outwards from the skull much like domestic cattle do, or like the domestic bovine breed the Texas Longhorn does.
Are ostrich feathers bad luck?
For a bad luck item, they have considerable sales potential and souvenir value= there is a store in New York that sells them and also all manner of stuffed birds- in connection with a floristry business. Peacock feathers were placed inside the casket of Sarah Bernhardt- this shows in the photos of her actual (not dry run) Wake or visitaiton, the dry runs do not have flowers- and/or Peacock Feathers, the real ones do. As Peacocks are not native to France, and NBC was unknown at the time- except as a Radio Station.-this cannot be a standard ( French Mortuary custom). I am puzzled by it. connection with coffin, as with flowers to some people, could have morbid or bad-luck aspects... but... The Night has a thousand eyes- the peacock cannot see through his tail feathers, sadly!
What is smarter a camel or horse?
