A LARGE PART OF ARABIA IS A DESERT. THE ARABS WHO LIVE IN THE DESERT GENERALLY
LIVE IN TENTS. THEY MOVE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER SEARCHING FOR GRASS AND
WATER FOR THEIR SHEEP AND GOATS, CAMELS AND HOURSES. THESE ARABS, WHO ARE
WANDERERS, EAT RIPES FIGS AND DATES.
ARABS HAVE THE FINEST HORSES IN THE WORLD. AN ARAB IS VERY PROUD OF
RIDING HIS HORSE AND LOVES IT ALMOST AS MUCH AS HE LOVES HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN.
HE NEVER PUTS HEAVY LOADS ON HIS HORSE
THE CAMEL IS MUCH MORE USEFUL TO THE ARAB THAN HIS BEAUTIFUL HORSE,
SINCE IT IS LARGER AND STRONGER THAN THE FARMER. AN ARAB LOADS HIS CAMEL
WITH GOODS AND RIDES HIM TOO. ACROSS THE HOT AND FIERCE DESERT, CAMELS
ARE ABLE TO WITHSTANDS CHANGES IN BODY TEMPRETURE AND WATER CONSUMP-
TION THAT WOULD KILL MOST OTHER ANIMALS. WHEN THE CAMEL EXHALES, WATER
VAPOUR BECOMES TRAPPED IN THEIR NOSTRILLS AND IS REABSORBED INTO THE BODY
AS A MEANS TO CONSERVE WATER. CAMELS EATING GREEN SHRUBS CAN INGEST
SUFFICIENT MOISTURE IN MILDER CONDITIONS TO MAINTAIN THEIR BODIES HYDRATED
STATE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR DRINKING WATER. THE CAMEL REALLY JUSTIFIES
THE NAMES 'THE SHIP OF THE DESERT' THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO HIM.
Answers
Ship of the desert
