One of the most useful animals in the world is the Camel. It is an incredibly versatile creature that can be used for general transport, a pack animal or even battle. The mythical reason for why the Camel is used for so much comes from Aesops fable. Here the lazy camel refuses to do anything to help at the creation of the earth (“what with the world so new and all”). The other animals and the first humans punish the lazy Camel by making sure it works extra hard for the rest of it’s days. Whilst Camels are useful do not expect a Same Day Courier London to use them. We now use Motorbikes and Vans.
Camels truly are an amazing creature, They can go days without water due to their fatty humps. There are two types of camel. There is the Single humped Dromedary and the double humped Bactrian. They are a godsend in the desert environment allowing the native people a perfect companion for trading and travelling.
They also formed a perfect defensive creature during the Crusades. Whereas the Knights of Europe arrived on their huge charger horses the Saracens deployed their Bactrian and Dromedary Cavalry to counter it. The smell of the Camels got up the horses noses and they bolted when charged by them.
