How far can you travel by camel in a day?

Best Answers

They spend 8-12 hours per day eating. Camels eat from small grasses and herbs (Convulvulaceae, Plantaginaceae) to bushes, trees (Acacia) (camels can pick up leaves at heights of up to 3.5 m (12 ft)), and plants growing on salty lands (Chenopodiaceae) and, as a camel's mouth is extremely tough and pain resistant, they can eat easily thorny desert plants, avoided by other animals. read more

And they can do this even in the searing heat or numbing cold of the desert. For centuries, camels were the vehicles of choice for traversing arid areas from western Africa to Mongolia and China. read more
