Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Holy Quran Text. Translation & Commentary(the Example Commentary in Brief)(volume Four) Camel the Ship of Desert Camel is the most useful animal in Arabian Deserts. It is a large cud-chewing animal adopted for life in desert regions. The single-humped Arabian camel has been domesticated for 5000 years. At first it was a beast of burden, but now all parts of the animal are used, including the flesh, milk, wool, and even the dung for fuel.
The camel is very resistive against thirst. A series of deep cells in stomach chambers acts as storage for water. A single, 15-gal. drink suffices the camel during a five-day trip with heavy load. Fat is stored in the hump, and acts as a food reserves during forced travels.
