CAMELS

HOW COMMON IS THIS ANIMAL IN OUR SOCIETY AND WHY?

• It might not survive the climate, unless in a zoo.
• But if it was in, say, Africa it could survive quite comfortably.
• So, no I don't think it would survive in michigan.

WHAT ROLE DID A CAMEL PLAY? AND HOW WAS IT UTILIZED?

• It could be a mode of transportation or could lift very heavy things.
• It could also be agreat animal for farming, but the nomads, weren't agrarian.
• It could provide milk, meat, and a way of getting around.

WHAT QUALITIES WE USE TO DESCRIBE A CAMEL.

• They are big and gentle, and very playful.
• They also have their famous humps. The himps do not contain water, just fat.
• Bery good at surviving with very little water, sometimes up to a month!
• They have a very unique quality, that is their hump! One of the only animals that have a hump!

DO YOU THINK THE USE OF THIS ANIMAL HAS CHANGED THROUGH HISTORY?

• Maybe a little because I have have seen national geographics about camels
• And they also have been used by people travelljng across deserts even to this day.
• So yes maybe a little but for the most part, no.

WHY MIGHT THIS ANIMAL BE USEFUL TO A NOMADIC PASTORALIST?

• They can carry very heavy things, and can survive for a long time without water.
• It could provide a lot of meat and milk and hides and wool if killed.
• And they can be ridden!
