Exploring the World of Camels: Their Habitat, Uses, and Adaptations

Camels are found worldwide, especially in desert regions of Asia and Africa. They are vital for food, milk, and transport. There are two main types: the one-humped Arabian camel and the two-humped Bactrian camel. Bedouins, who live in deserts, rely on camels for their simple lifestyle. Camels are well-adapted to desert life, surviving long without water and reflecting sunlight with their thick coats. They are herbivores, primarily eating plants.
