Camel, the boat of desert
One summer vacation, when my father took me to Mingsha mountain in Gansu Province, I saw many camels. Camel it is yellow brown, back has two humps, tail is not long and not short, camel is very high, looks terrible, but Camel's character is very gentle.
I also rode a camel there. The camel is different from the horse. The horse runs fast, but the camel walks slowly. The camel is obedient. When I ride a camel, I sit on its back like dancing. Camel is the boat of desert because camel has two stomachs, one is used to digest food, the other is used to preserve food. Camels eat a lot of food at a time. Some of them are kept in their humps and some of them go into their digested stomachs. If camels are hungry, they will transport food from their stomach to their mouths. Long ago, when transportation was inconvenient, camels were the only means of transportation in the desert, so we called them the boat of the desert.
Ah, the camel is so cute.
Camel: the boat of desert
A few days ago, my uncle went to Inner Mongolia to travel and brought me a toy camel. I love it!
Camels are beautiful! It was dressed in khaki, with four words written on both sides of its body: tourism souvenir. It has silk ribbons on its head, big and black eyes, like two black pearls, very small ears and copper bells around its neck. The most peculiar thing is the two humps on its back, like two hills.
According to my mother, camel is a "boat of desert". Its feet are so big that it's not easy to sink into the sand. The role of the hump can be great, it has eaten nutrients are stored in it. It has two layers of eyelashes, unlike humans. When the wind blows, there will be no sand in the eyes.
After listening to my mother's introduction, I like it better. I call it Tuotuo. When I watch TV at night, I often hold it and say, "darling, go to sleep!" It seemed to say to me, "I see, little master!"
3. Camel, the boat of desert
Why do people call camels "boats of the desert": that's because camels can carry heavy goods to walk in the hot desert for several days without eating any food or drinking water. It turns out that the hump of a camel is full of fat, which can be turned into food and water if necessary. Before entering a section of barren land, the camel has to eat a lot of food and drink a lot of water, and its hump becomes tall and strong.
But at the end of the journey, when the hump has consumed all that water and food, it is no longer strong and upright. Camels also have several features suitable for desert travel: their lips are covered with thick, coarse hair, which can protect their lips when they eat thorny plants growing in the desert. When there is a storm in the desert, the sand can't get into the camel's ears, because there are so many small hairs in the camel's ears. Camel has long eyelashes, which can prevent its eyes from being narrowed by sand. Camel can also close its nostrils for breathing! Camel's feet are long with meat toes, which are very suitable for walking in the desert. Its feet will not sink into the sand.
The boat of the desert
The creator is so humorous that he made the clay puppets of the zodiac animals and let them come to the world. Then, he combined the characteristics of each zodiac, made a camel, and assigned him a good job to help human beings cross the desert known as the "dead zone".
It was born different from other animals, any animal temperament is urgent, but the camel is not the same, it is always slow to eat grass, slow to move around, everything has to be done slowly, people look anxious. Camel is very arrogant, ordinary animals to play with it, it is ignored, alone in a corner swinging long tail, dim eyes.
There is a story that after camel crossed the desert again, the old horse and donkey went to ask him for experience. Camel just said: with patience, step by step, you will surely succeed. It can be seen that camels have the qualities of perseverance, calmness and patience.
The first time I saw a camel was when I visited the seven star lake a few years ago. It has a tall and straight hump, lovely appearance, soft and soft hair, big and God's eyes. It made me like it as soon as I saw it, and I fell in love with it unconsciously. "I want to ride a camel." I said to my mother. So, my mother chose a spiritual camel for me to ride. If so, it walks slowly, step by step, like sitting in a sedan chair. I stroked its mane, soft and smooth, and it turned around and gave me two friendly calls. I beat it hard on the hump, and it didn't get angry and wagged its tail. Camel is really a good temper, no matter how I toss it, it does not get angry. I know from the population of camel owners that this camel is called Bangbang. He has crossed the desert many times. He has a good character and likes to deal with people. At this time, the camel constantly rubbed me and called at me. When I got off the camel, it always looked back at me until it disappeared in my sight.
I can't help thinking: "camel is really a good thing. It helps people to get through the desert. It's so understanding and human! My favorite animal is camel!

Everybody knows camel! Yes, in the vast desert, it is the most important means of transportation. When people are thirsty, it finds water for them; when people are tired after long journey, it carries people on their backs to rest; when businessmen transport goods, it takes pains to carry goods for them But in the boundless desert, how can camels "swim" in the river? Why is he free? Can he swim? oh Please don't worry. Let me take my time!
Because camels are often used in the desert, they are also known as "boats of the desert". So, it's proud! I often have to exchange roles with the host and refuse to serve. What's more, it's ridiculous! It! It! Even to the river and white swan than! It's incredible.
"La la la How happy today! It's a fine day. WOW! In the clear sky, looking up at the sky, it's like a sparsely white flower on the blue embroidered cloth without ink lines! Today is also the time for our camel team to go out of the desert and deliver goods. By the way, let other friends in the animal kingdom see my charm! " Camel Meimei was so happy that she was in full bloom! Walking in the desert with light and happy steps. Their owners are merchants who transport coal to the south. This time they have a departure.
It came to the river with the team and saw a group of white swans playing in the water. How happy they were! In addition, there are several children with "80 ancient poems must be recited" in their hands, and they read "chanting geese [song] Wang Anshi, geese, geese, quxiang xiangtian song" together. White hair floats in green water, and red palm stirs clear waves. " At this time, Meimei can be mad! "What's the name of Wang Shitou? Why are you so eyeless! Hum, what a famous man I am!

"Xiaomei, what are you doing? Come back, don't
"If you can't get into the water, is it a boat?" Say play then jump into the river, the river immediately submerged the hump. Jiao Jiao was too late to dissuade her and started to cry.
When the merchant came to his senses, he thought of saving Meimei. He quickly found some passers-by and brought the camel ashore, but it was dying long ago! This time, not only did the boat fail, it lost its life. Ah
6 the boat of the desert camel
The boundless desert is short of rain and water. It's windy and dusty. It's hot and cold. It's changeable. It's hard to see a little green. It's rare to see all kinds of creatures. However, with the ringing of the bell, you can see a group of camels, carrying heavy loads, trudging steadily on the loose sand, slowly moving forward. Why do camels have such unique ability to adapt to the harsh desert environment?
Let's make a careful observation!
Camel's appearance is not good-looking, and its body is covered with shaggy tawny fur, which is like adding a layer of insulation layer to withstand the threat of cold wind and heat wave.
There are two humps on the camel's back. They are "big warehouses" of fat and nutrients to regulate the whole digestive organs. In this way, in the desert where there is no water and grass, camels can work as usual for six or seven days without food. When the hump shrivels and the fat is exhausted, it can turn the grass and water into nutrients to make it plump.
The camel's head and neck are long enough to see far enough for it to pass through the desert without losing its way.
Storms are "uninvited guests" in the desert. Camels rely on their openable and closable nostrils and double eyelashes to block the wind and sand. They will not suffocate, suffer misfortune, lose their eyes and get dizzy.
The camel's feet have thick pads, which are elastic and stretch, so they won't sink into the sand.
Because of these special physical structures and physiological functions, camels can travel freely in the desert where other animals cannot live, and become a unique means of transportation in the desert. Therefore, it is also known as "the boat of the desert".
