Introduction
Regardless of camels being highly associated with the middle east and Africa they have originated from north America about 45 million years ago (Cohen, 2013) from there on they have migrated great distances. The family of camelids consists: of the Dromedary, also known as the Arabian camel which is single humped; The Bactrian who is double humped ;The Alpaca, the Llama, the Vicuna, and the Guanaco. All species of the camel return to the specie of even toed ungulates called the Artiodactyl, and the suborder Tylopoda. The camelids play a crucial role in the life of the ancient Arabs who lived in the desert, the camel physiology matched perfectly to their harsh days, they suited their lives habitual and traveling wise. The camel stayed side by side of the desert peoples’ lives, resistant and generous in tough dry, and poor conditions, till the modern ways of transportation were invented. People relied on them for the sake of transport of heavy material from one area to another, they are also used for riding through long distances, nutritional reasons, for example camel hides, meat, skins, and furs and for entertaining reasons such as racing. Camels have proven to be the perfect desert animal due to its high produce of meat and milk compared to any other animal living there (El Amin, 1979).
