About the Animals
These intelligent, sociable creatures make excellent pets (and unique modes of transportation!). They’re extremely resilient; camels can live for weeks without water, and they have fat reserves in their hump that help them manage their body heat. Camel milk is also rich in nutrients that help boost the immune system, promote blood circulation, protect against diabetes, and improve heart health.
