Explanation:

it is so because camel have larger feet reduce the pressure but in humans we started sinking because our feet are small and the pressure exerted is more as it is indirectly proportional to the pressure

Hola!

It is because camel’s feet have large surface area, the force of their weight is distributed over a large area of sand. The pressure produced on sand is small and hence, a camel’s feet do not sink into the sand.

On the other hand, a man’s feet have a small surface area, the force of their weight is distributed over a smaller area of sand. The force per unit area (or pressure) produced on sand is large in this case due to which a man’s feet sink into sand and it becomes difficult for him to walk on sand.
