CAMELS AND HORSES
Camels and Horses
There are many similarities between horses and camels. Both of them are domestic animals. Camels are mammals and so are horses. Camels are used for traveling and racing. Horses are also used for the same purposes. Saudis are fond of both these animals. They are both expensive to buy. Neither camels nor horses are dangerous animals.
There are, however, a number of differences between these two animals. Camels are bigger in size and heavier in weight than horses. The height of the former is normally about 3 meters. On the other hand, horses are normally around 1.5 meters only. Camels are normally 2500 kilograms in weight whereas horses can reach only up to 500 kilograms. The meat and the milk of camels are edible and very healthy for man whereas the same of horses are non edible. Hence, horses are useless in this aspect. Camels are more expensive that horses. The price of a normal camel is around 7000 Riyals. However, camels that are used in racing can reach millions. Horses, on the other hand, cost only a few thousand Riyals, except the ones used for racing. Camels are very common in the Kingdom while horses are rarely found. The young ones of camels are called calves while foal is the name of the young ones of horses. Camels can be raised in deserts even by common people whereas only rich people can afford to raise horses.

In conclusion, I prefer to set up a camel farm after graduation because its milk and meat can bring good revenue as a part time business for me. Moreover, it is easier to raise, to buy and to sell them.

    One major difference is that mammals breathe in oxygen. Camelus dromedarius has a closed circulatory system. This means that all the blood is pumped throughout the body while enclosed in vessels. The blood never leaves the vessels, it just transferred from one vessel to another. The blood picks up the oxygen at the lungs, then goes to the heart and gets pumped around the body, it de-oxygenated blood returns to the heart and then gets pumped back to the lungs where the blood picks up more oxygen.…

    Mules vs. Elephants

    As George Washington retired from his presidential position in 1796, he left a grim reminder to the people of the newly independent United States of America: the independence of states, peace at home and abroad, safety, prosperity, and liberty are all dependent upon the unity between states. To promote the national strength, he urges the people to place their identity as Americans above those of their state, region, and interests. In fear of the impeding sectionalism, Washington included a fair warning to the people of the United States, the dangers of political parties to the government and the country as a whole. The idea of political parties, although warned thoroughly by our very first president, continuously solidified itself into the core of American government until it has become two standing pillars of modern politics: the Democratic Mules and its counterpart, the Republican Elephants. In 21st century politics, these two reigning parties, both having changed and altered their focus over time, have maintained a core value system, ideas beliefs, and key constituencies, which are made apparent throughout political campaigns; no better evidence than the 2012 political party platforms articulates the political position which each party represents.…

    John E. Stapleford, Professor of Economic Development at Eastern College in St. Davids, Pennsylvania, rightly states that ethics and economics are the ground-level topics of this book. The author also makes the valid point that both economics and ethics developed as branches of philosophy. He further observes that over the years, barriers between the two disciplines have developed with most economists avoiding any explicit mention of the ethical implications of the economic theories and concepts addressed in popular economic texts. Stapleford seeks to address this gap.…

    Demographic factors,Social factors, economic factors, technological factors and political and legal factors.

    For Adam, living with his pilot father and family in an expatriate compound in Abudai in the Arabian Gulf, life could not be easier. But when war breaks out, Adam finds himself alone and attempting to find his way back to the abandoned compound to save his dog, Tara, who has been left in the mad rush to escape across the boarder. We also meet Walid, living a miserable life as a camel rider in a camp on the outskirts of Abudai. His father is dead and his mother works in Abudai, and he must win enough money racing camels to buy his freedom and return to his mother. By showing kindness to a camel due to foal he is responsible for her accidental death, and for this he is taken to a cave out in the desert, hobbled at hands and feet, and left to die by the cruel men who he was sold to. Dazed and delirious from the desert heat, Adam has finished his water and is close to passing out when he comes across Walid, hoping at first that he might be saved, but then realising that Walid has been tied up and abandoned in the desert. Together the two boys manage to capture a mountain goat, which they milk and then kill for the meat, to keep them alive. Although they do not understand each other’s language, and both assume the other is a fool, they somehow are able to work together to stay alive. Just when things seem to be going well, they are discovered by the two men from Walid’s camel camp – Old Goat and Breath of dog, as Walid calls them – who attack the boys and try to kill them. Somehow Adam and Walid manage to escape and continue their journey towards Abudai. The two boys face instances of real danger and come close to losing their lives on several occasions, but by working together they are finally returned to the compound and to safety. Adam discovers that his family had offered a reward for the boys’ safe return, and it was this that led to Old Goat and Breath of Dog finally taking them back…

    These magnificent animals are so closely related to what the West was built upon. They have such powerful strides, beautiful grace, reflexes as quick as light, keen sight and hearing, and survival skills a hundred times more successful than many animals in the wild. Mustangs’ growth patterns are different from domesticated horses. On average the typical mustang does not grow as tall as other horses; hence, the environment they are born into does not yield as much food to them. Instead, they are more compact and possess stronger legs, stronger hoofs, and higher bone density, allowing for them to withstand the rigors of running wild. Mustangs’ also have incredible eyesight and hearing. The lead stallion of the herd will lag behind and alert the others of any kind of predator that may be nearby. Such predators could be mountain lions, bears, and sometimes humans. (Lamb and Johnson). Some people and organizations may say that with such attributes they should be left in the wild. Agreement is logical with such beliefs, as some of the mustangs should remain in the wild; in doing so they can continue to breed. However, leaving the mustang herds completely alone is considered by many to be animal…

    Cameleers In Australia

    • 1468 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Introduction: It is easy to say that the Afghan Cameleers were a triumph for Australian trade, rural supply and exploration. Afghani people first came to Australia during the 1860s. These people were known as “cameleers”. They travelled to Australia with “travelling papers” which they obtained while working in British India. The Afghan Cameleers operated in most areas of transportation, mining and the supply of required items to farms, communities and towns. A small amount of these settled in Victoria in 1901, while others settled along the Port of South Australia. The aim throughout this essay is to argue that the Afghan Cameleers were a triumph for Australian trade, rural supple and exploration.…
