THE CAMEL 



Arabs with their Camels. 



The Camel tribe contains two groups, the Camels and Llamas ; the former are restricted to the Old World, 

 and the latter correspond to them in the New. In the true Camels the two toes are united below by a 

 kind nf horny sole, almost to their points, which terminate in small hoofs; and there is a soft cushion 

 heneath the foot, by which it hears upon the sandy surface over which it is formed to move. Two species 

 are known, one called the Bactrian or two-humped Camel, and the other Ihe Arabian, or one-humped. Both 

 are completely domesticated. The two-humped Camel is the larger and stronger.
