Why are camels called desert ships?

The camel is a marvel of nature, and it can withstand temperatures of 53 degrees Celsius and minus -1 degrees Celsius. He was leaving his feet for hours on the hot sands of the desert. It goes on for months without drinking any water. Eat’s cactus with big thorns in the desert. Weighing one and a half kg, he walked hundreds of miles on his back. Animals with such extraordinary designs as camels are a marvel to zoologists.

The body temperature of most mammals, including humans, is usually around 36 degrees Celsius (96 degrees Fahrenheit). If the body’s internal temperature rises to more than 36.5 degrees (102 F), then the internal organs begin to be damaged. Exceeding 40 degrees (104 Fahrenheit) causes severe damage to the liver, kidneys, brain, and digestive system. At a temperature of 41 degrees (105 F), the body’s cells begin to die.

This’s why when the internal temperature of mammals rises above average, the body sweats and cools by releasing excess heat. But it is a luxury for camels to wastewater in this way. Because water is the rarest resource in the desert, there is a special arrangement in the body of the camel. The morning body temperature is 34 degrees. Then when the weather gets scorching, the internal temperature rises to 41 degrees (104 F). From then on, it started sweating. Until then, it holds water. Thus every day, the camel endures from average temperature too high fever temperature. It has a system inside the body to not cause significant damage to the internal organs even after a high fever day after day.

Camel blood is specially made to hold large amounts of water. Once a camel starts drinking water, it can consume about 130 liters of water, about the equivalent of three tank fuel tanks, in 10 minutes. If any other animal drank this enormous amount of water, excess water would enter the bloodstream, and the blood cells would swell and burst due to the osmotic pressure. But camel blood cells have a special coating, which can withstand much more stress. It is because of this special blood that a camel can drink so much water at once.

The camel’s hump is a reservoir of fat. Fat provides energy and nutrition to camels. And water keeps all the internal functions of the body active, keeps the body temperature right. Once enough food and water are consumed, a camel can survive for up to six months without drinking any food or water.

Camels are desert ships. It weighs up to 170-270 kg and moves with a smile. This massive, powerful creature had no reason to be calm, loyal to humans. Instead, such a self-sufficient creature is supposed to be violent so that no one would dare to touch him. By breaking many of the rules made by evolutionists, this creature has, for some reason, become innocent, calm, loyal to man. If God had not made the camel suitable for human beings, it would have been impossible for human beings to build a civilization in the desert.

Another notable ability of the camel is its ability to chew cut plants, which no other animal has. Cactus with big thorns can eat it. If it were any other animal, the gums, cheeks, and tongue would have been injured by the thorns of the cactus. But camels are nothing. Inside the camel’s mouth is a beautiful arrangement. There are numerous small, complex finger-like arrangements inside its mouth, which protect it from cut wounds. There is a tongue that cannot pierce thorns.

 

The camel’s eye has two layers of petals. Due to which it can keep its eyes open even in dust storms in the desert. This special petal arrangement works like sunglasses to protect the eyes from the scorching sun of the desert and retain the moisture of the eyes. At the same time, make it specially curved so that it can trap dust.
