prosperous have a better chance of germinating further away from their pound plant this aids the spread of shrubbery. moreover because camels consume plants not targeted by other grazers including several harsh pest weeds they help eliminate flora which may haunt scrub growth or be fatal to other desert wildlife. as herbivores their presence in the ecosystem also means more food for predators and scavengers. but also human life in the desert would be unimaginable without the camel. domesticated over three thousand five hundred years ago camels have traditionally been a means of transporting goods with two chose and leathery pads under their hooves camels are able to move without sinking into sand at speeds of up to sixty kilometers per hour desert civilisations rely on camels for their meat milk and fur . camel milk doesn't curdle and has a higher content of vitamin c.
