2. Camel Beside A Desert Tent
Camels are a common sight in many nations that have desert environments. They’re especially common in countries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. In these kinds of countries, camels have been an important part of life, as they survive in deserts better than most mammals and help people to traverse these harsh environments.
3. Camel Caravan Crossing The Desert
Desert travellers would make camel caravans to go across great distances. This probably worked well for the camels, as they are naturally social creatures who live in herds. You could draw some supplies loaded on the camels or even some human travellers beside them.
4. Camel Carrying Supplies
Camels are very strong and can carry up to 600 pounds. Not only that, but they can survive for days with no food or water. Many assume that they store water in their humps, but this is a misconception. The humps actually contain fat reserves that the camels can draw from when resources are scarce.

In countries where camels were prevalent, people would cover them with elaborate saddles and other decorative elements, often as a status symbol.

20. Camel With Long Legs
Camels have long legs, and I can tell you from personal experience that it makes it much harder to get on their backs if you want to ride one! One of the reasons they have such long legs is that it means their bodies are further from the hot sand.
