Who sprints faster on sand a horse or a camel?
A horse runs faster because of the muscular tendons in its legs this then the Jockey produces the speed needed for the horse a camel can run but it is jumping about more than running and the muscular tendons are less producible and it is also not as fast because of the water in its humps so there is more mass and it is denser than the horse but a cheetah is a lot faster does that answer your question? And the muscular tendons are just another word for muscles.
What size is the cell in an ostrich egg?
It kind of looks like a cell, with the yolk as a nucleus, but eggs, including ostrich eggs, are just growth chambers for the tiny embryo within. The embryo, being a living thing, is comprised of cells, but not the yolk which feeds the embryo or the white which cushions and hydrates the embryo. As the embryo grows the cells divide so the embryo contains more and more cells. The embryo uses the supplies inside the egg to create new cells as it grows into a chick.
What are three adaptations on how camels?
They have long eyelashes to keep the sand out of their eyes. They also have big feet to help them get through the desert sand easier.
The Ostrich is the fastest living animal on two feet. It can reach speeds of up to 60km/h
From a human standpoint, it would increase hunting of other animals.
The predators that feed on deer would also have to find new prey. Deer are not heavy grazers, so other herbivores would not receive much benefit.
Is a white tail deer chordata?
Yes. As Chordates (or members of the phylum Chordata), deer share the following characteristics:
- dorsal nerve cord which is a bundle of nerve fibres which runs down the back. It connects the brain with the lateral muscles and other organs.
- notochord which is a cartilaginous rod running underneath, and supporting, the nerve cord - in the case of the deer, a spine.
- post-anal tail - an extension of the body past the anal opening. (This feature is not always present in some adult Chordates such as frogs and humans, but it is present in the deer.)
- Pharyngeal pouches - Chordates, at some stage of their life, have pharyngeal grooves and pouches that develop into other essential parts of their anatomy.
The length of the ostrich leg is 60% of its actual height. It mostly ranges between 3 feet to 6 feet. For more interesting <a href= " http://birdsflight.com/ostrich-facts-kids-ostrich-behavior-ostrich-diet-ostrich-species/ /">ostrich facts</a> visit http://birdsflight.com/.
Why there are big humps on a camels back?
a camel's hump is a giant mound of fat, actually. In a healthy, well-fed camel, the hump can weigh as much as 80 pounds (35 kilograms)! Human beings and most animals store their fat mixed in with muscle tissue or in a layer right beneath the skin. Camels are the only animals with a hump. The hump allows a camel to survive an extremely long time (up to two weeks) without food if need be. Because camels typically live in the desert, where food can be scarce for long stretches, this is important.
What animal group do deer belong to?
Depends on what species you are referring to. For example, White-tailed deer and Mule deer are Genus Odocoileus, Elk or Wapiti are Genus Cervus, and Moose are Genus Alces. Check out more on the Wikipedia site posted below.
Sika deer, like most deer, are herbivorous, and primarily graze on grass and leaves. The Sika live in the mountains so they have been known to eat shrubs such as holly, and bilberry. They will also strip the bark off trees in the winter time, when food is scarce.
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."

How do you say Bison in Hawaiian?
CORRECTED: Aloha: Say pea ha'ehu'ehu [pay-ah ha 'ayhoo 'ayhoo].
I collect teddy bears - Pea ki'i [kee'ee] : )
There is no Hawaiian word for any kind of bear, since bears are not native to Hawaii.
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!
What does elk droppings look like?
They are brown and cylindrical-shaped, smaller than a moose's but larger than a deer's.
What is the weight of a baby camel?
Camels usually weigh between 10-17 pounds at birth. As adults, they will grow to be as large as 100-190 pounds.
