It’s Wednesday so it’s a good day to put the camel in the spotlight! About a dozen life-sized stone sculptures and reliefs have been found in northern Saudi Arabia. The somewhat eroded statues and reliefs are about 2000 years old.
People have kept camels for about 4000 years. Camels can completely shut their nostrils during sand storms. Camels can drink up to 40 gallons of water in one go. Their humps let them store up to 80 pounds of fat on which they can live off for weeks and even months. There are over 160 words for camel in Arabic alone.
Camels are used in different art projects, realistic paintings, abstract, pottery, statues, jewelry etc.
Have a happy Humpday!!
