ANKE OESTERREICH From BOGOTÁ, Colombia
Many times I have wondered reason it is always spoken in pejorative tone of the camels? Does reason say that they are silly, ugly and clumsy? For me they are unique, incomparable and spectacular beings. My reasons to affirm the above-mentioned will give them next:
I admit that they possess some jumbled stubbornness with something of extravagancy but this same it transforms them into one the big geniuses of the survival.
Where other animals have abandoned for a lot of time they arrive successfully to their destination. the camel is a creature that, as any other one, it follows his road toward the victory in a sure, balanced and confident way.
Due to their great height it is admirable the humility with which they feel in the hot sand without protesting and with the only end of facilitating the human being to be gone up to their loin stops then to serve him unconditionally. The camel is a miracle of the nature from any point of view because:
Miracle of the sand of the desert since is under conditions of protecting its enormous eyes with its long and enviable lashes. In the event of a storm he can close their nasal graves for long while.
Miracle of the heat since sweats hardly starting from the 40 or 42 grades. In cold nights it can lower without problem some, their temperature to 34 grades. He also has since an unique type of blood in the world any other animal on the earth it is under conditions of mixing the blood with water.
The camel can almost lose a third of his weight in liquid without feeling too tired. On the other hand the human being cannot lose more than a tenth part of his weight because the blood thickens so much that it doesn't flow with the result of a great increase of temperature provoking him an instantaneous heart attack.

Miracle of the thirst: The camel can take of a single time 120 liters of water without passing him he swims his red globules since they assimilate it very well and his veins possess the easiness of expanding the necessary thing. It is scientifically proven that in a similar case the human being would die instantly taken place by a poisoning with water.
Typical of a camel it is their to walk since they move the front and back paw from one and another side to the time. This explains the one walked typical style “rocker “. Going they move their equal paws it forms, only to the gallop they run as the other animals reaching a speed of approximately 19 kilometers per hour. With all these advantages not in vain the camel has survived for more than 5.000 years becoming an incomparable partner and the human being's ally.
In Arab camel of he says “al-jamal” what is equal to “I respect”, “admiration” and “trust” that, without place to doubts, it demonstrates the great value that you/they represent for them.

My deepest respect before all the “Camélidos” of the world, to those that I call my affectionately “Reyes of the Desert” (including their relatives from the American Andes as they are it the flame, vicuña, gump and German nickel).
