Camel "strange animal"
PART 01
Camels are "strange animals" because camels are ancient creatures. History records that when hot winds and sandstorms hit the Silk Road, "only the old camel knew it, and immediately stood and buried his mouth and nose in the sand, and every time he waited, he was about to feel his nose and mouth." The wind is swift, and it must be exhausted, and if it is not prevented, it will be perished."
When they step into the boundless, yellow dust, yin wind and fury, cold and summer, and exhausted life, any kind of life will feel afraid, even if the most advanced people are not like this! And once the camel steps into that desert, the symbol of life jumps to challenge death and challenge the limit.
They exude a kind of fearlessness, a kind of tenacity, a kind of steadfastness, a kind of spirit; There is no fear, no boredom, no restlessness, no grievances, no resentment, no looking back, they walk steadily and step by step forward, towards the oasis, towards hope.
Camel species
PART 02
Camels are species of animals in the genus Camelidae, with two species. The dromedary has short fur, and the Bactrian has two layers of fur, one with a warm inner fuzz and one with a coarse long-haired coat.
The average life span of camels can be as long as 30-50 years. In addition to dromedaries and Bactrian camels, there are four camel-like camels that live in South America: Llama, Alpaca, Guanaco, and Vicuna.
Physical characteristics of camels
PART 03
The head of the camel is small, with a thick and long neck, curved like a gooseneck. The body is tall and has brown body hair. The eyes are heavy eyelids, the nostrils can be opened and closed, the limbs are slender, the hooves are as large as a disk, and the two toes and plantars have thick skin, which are all characteristics suitable for walking in sand. Camels are quite able to endure hunger and thirst, and can still move in hot, arid desert areas for several days without drinking water for several days.
The villi are well developed, and there are also long hairs under the neck. The upper lip is split for easy feeding. The tail is slender and hairy at the tip. There are 1~2 large humps on the back, and fat is stored. The stomach is divided into 3 chambers (lack of valve stomach) and can be ruminated. He is docile and often moves alone, eating coarse grasses and shrubs. The lifespan is about 30 years.
Camels are known as the "Boat of the Desert"
PART 04
Camels always give people the feeling of simplicity, docility and trustworthiness, and they have been faithful to their duties despite heavy burdens throughout their lives. Unlike other animals, it is particularly resistant to hunger and thirst, and people can ride camels across the desert. Camels are also known as the "ship of the desert".
Camels have hair in their ears, which can block the entry of wind and sand; Camels have double eyelids and thick long eyelashes that prevent wind and sand from entering the eyes; The camel's nose can also close freely, and these "equipment" make the camel not afraid of wind and sand at all.
Enough meat cushion thick skin, suitable for walking in the desert, with meat peaks on the back, fat inside, when the camel cannot get food, it can be decomposed into the nutrients needed by the camel body for the survival needs of the camel. Camels can go four or five days without eating, relying on the fat in the hump.
The stomach has three chambers, the first gastric chamber has 20~30 stables, can store water, red blood cells can greatly expand and absorb water to store water, so hunger and thirst, can not eat or drink for many days, once encountering aquatic plants, you can drink a lot of water storage.
Camels walk slowly, but can carry a lot of things. It is an important means of transportation in the desert, and people regard it as a ship that crosses the desert sea, and has the reputation of "desert boat".
We should learn from the trekker of this desert, whose uncomplaining, tenacity and steadfastness, and perseverance and self-confidence are all worthy of our serious study. Step by step, always with your head held high, always full of confidence!
A philosopher once said that camels have two spirits:
First, believe that the desert side is an oasis, that is, do everything with firm faith;
The second is to walk step by step towards the oasis of hope, and we never see a camel running in the desert, because in order for it to die quickly, it must go to the oasis step by step, just as we have a firm belief that we must also go step by step to success.
