What is the symbolic meaning of camel?
The symbolic meaning of camel is a ship in the desert.

Camel spirit is widely celebrated in Inner Mongolia. Like camels, prairie people who live in grasslands and deserts think that the other side of the desert is an oasis. They are steadfast in towards the distant and full of hope for life.

Camels, known as "ships in the desert", have a small head, a thick and long neck and a gooseneck shape. Tall, with brown hair. Desperate. Camels can live for two weeks without water and for a month without food. Fat is stored in the hump. Without food, it can be decomposed into nutrients needed by the body for camels to survive.

In addition, there are many bottle-shaped bubbles in the camel's stomach to store water. Camels can be used to ride, carry, pull carts, plow fields and so on. It is an indispensable partner for people in the desert Gobi area and geological exploration and archaeological workers. The dromedary camels are mainly distributed in Sudan, Somalia, India and other countries. Nearly half of bactrian camels are distributed in Australia, and China is mainly distributed in Xinjiang, Gansu and Inner Mongolia.

Living habits

Camels are hungry and thirsty. Every time they drink enough water, they can still go without water for several days in the hot and dry desert area. Because there are many extremely thin and tortuous pipes in their noses, the pipes are usually wet with liquid. When the body is short of water, the pipeline immediately stops secreting liquid, and a 1 layer hard shell is formed on the surface of the pipeline, which can be used to absorb exhaled water without losing it to the body.

When inhaling, the water in the hard skin can be sent back to the body. Water is used repeatedly in the body, so it can resist thirst. The stomach is divided into three chambers (lack of flap stomach) and can ruminate. Mild temperament, often acting alone, eating coarse grass and shrubs. Camel's body temperature is 34 degrees Celsius at night and as high as 4 1 degree Celsius during the day. Only above this temperature does the camel start to sweat.
