Question

why is the camel called the ship of desert

Answer 1

Camels are known as ships of the desert because they can move across desert sands easily providing a mode of transportation for people in desert areas. They can eat almost anything and drink from waterholes that are bitter or saline. Also ,In the daytime, when the sun is high, the eyes do not allow excessive light in.

Answer 2

Answer:

"Camel" is known as the "ship of the desert" because of the below reasons:

1. It is used for transportation in the desert where it is difficult for vehicles and other animals to reach.

2. It is used for transportation because it can live without water for days. It can drink a lot of water at one time and then store it for later use.

3. This happens because unlike us, camels don’t sweat and hence don’t lose water in form of sweat.
