Camel Riding: It did not take long for me, WakeUpAndLive, Prosperous Snow, Blue Moon, Sandra Lyn, Lynn, Carla, and hullabaloo, To realize that Camel riding is a very slow but effective way to travel the desert. Because of their size they cover a lot of ground as they walk. Camels are very long legged with an average leg length of 7.4 to 11.3 feet long. Their body length is approximately 10 feet when full grown. It’s foot has a large ball of fat in their heel which absorbs shock when walking.As it walks the rider experiences a slow forward and backward sway which is very comfortable. Like sitting in a rocking chair. The saddles had places to hold on. Just don’t fall asleep while you ride. You are at least 6 feet off the desert sand. The camels pictured were wearing beautiful colored rugs over saddles. Quote:They can eat almost anything be it vegetation, meat, or bone,-- salty or sweet, a camels stomach knows no limits. But it is their temperament that is truly endeared the camel to man. Docile and sweet under a caring hand, but stubborn and angry if ill treated, the camel both wins your heart and your respect reference:Camel Pictures and Facts - Fohn.net .https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3604619/Camel-bites-owner-s-HEAD-left-t...
