The earth has a complex ecological environment, the most important of which are the natural environment and the human environment. Geographical environment is divided into natural conditions and humanistic conditions. Natural environment includes topography, climate characteristics, etc.; humanistic environment mainly refers to people's social and economic activities and customs. The natural environment is closely related to human geography. The desert is not suitable for human survival, the desert is not suitable for human survival, but the desert is hard for camels, the desert is called " the boat of the desert" why are there only camels in the desert ??? The reason behind the common desert travel is very interesting .

Camels are one of the most thirst-resistant mammals , and their ability to walk up to 20 days in the desert without drinking water is actually related to their own structure**.** There are one or two "meat bumps" on the camel's back, called humps, which store a lot of fat. If there is a lack of nutrition , it can provide energy for the camel to survive in the desert in time .

Camels have been without water for a long time , and they can still maintain vigorous vitality; and how do camels maintain their lives? Camels are very drought tolerant. The camel will not die in the dry season because it has a strong ability to resist drought. It can also walk in the desert for a long time, which is due to its strong resistance to dehydration and its ability to restore water balance in a short time . When a camel is dehydrated to even 30 % of its body weight , it can continue to survive . During thistime , if the camel finds water, it will drink a lot of water, almost equal to the body weight it lost, to ensure its survival in the desert .

An even more amazing ability of a camel is that when it loses water to a quarter of its body weight, its blood content is only a tenth , in this case the camel 's ability to "process" the urine that is about to excrete protein into the body It is another guarantee for its survival in the desert .

The ability of a camel to walk in the desert has a lot to do with its body shape . It has an oddly curved neck , a small head , and a somewhat "happy" look. It has four fat hooves with broad , thick pads . It walks nimbly and smoothly , making it easier to walk in the desert without getting stuck in the sand .

It is very common in sandy deserts, which is not good for the survival of animals . Strong winds can cause breathing difficulties for animals and can even seriously affect vision. But camels are not afraid of wind and sand . Their nose structureis very strange , when the wind and sand come in , their nostrils will be closed, and the double eyelashes of the camel will not be hurt by the wind and sand .

The reason why a camel can become a ship of the desert is that it can walk freely**, can** withstand hunger and thirst for a long time , and is not afraid of wind and sand, which is the result of living on the edge of the desert for a long time .

In fact, camels are very precious. Its meat can not only be eaten, but also made into leather, and even camel bones, camel blood, and camel blood, which are good for human health. Camel hooves are also delicious, and they are used as " The "Desert Ship" accompanies people in and out of the desert, and they can't bear to use it so "cruelly".

Everyone knows gratitude. As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by the spring. The camel is the best partner of human beings in the harsh desert environment. No matter when and where, as long as you have a grateful heart, you will take good care of it. .
