Camels have this nickname because they glide across the deserts in Asia and Africa. They carry people and cargo, just like ships at sea. The desert is very hot and dry, with little food or water. Camels are able to do well in the desert because of the way their bodies are made.

Hi Janaline, I agree they are fantastic. I’m in Saudi and I try to spend every weekend in the desert. I’ve just started blogging about it. Thanks.

Its a wonder that they can glide across while we would flounder on foot. Seems they are perfectly adapted for the sand highways of the deserts!

I find it hard walking on the desert sand, let alone running!
