The camel is about nine feet high. It has a very long neck. It is arched like a bow. Its legs are long and thin. But its feet are broad. Under its feet there are pads. They do not let the feet sink in the sand. Its long neck is quite strange. The upper lip is cleft. It hangs on both the sides of the month. He is furnished with a fifth stomach. It serves as a reservoir of water in long journeys. The camels are of two kinds- the Arabian and the Bactrian. An Arabian camel is like a camel that is found in India. It has four legs and a hump on its back. The Bactrian camel has two humps. Its whole body is covered with long hair. It is smaller than Arabian camel.The camel is very painstaking and patient. It can walk nearly one hundred and twenty five kilometers a day. Heat has no effect on it. It is rightly called ‘Ship of desert’. It can travel through desert for a weak or so without taking a drop of water. When a storm comes, it lies down. It cries when it is being loaded.
