To help ensure this tempo the camels move by pacing. Pacing consists of two legs on the same side of the body moving at once, creating a rolling motion. Camels also have the capability to run and can do so at ten to twenty miles per hour. The temperature ranges from -29 degrees Celsius in the winter to 38 degrees Celsius in the summer. The original purpose of domestication was probably to use their size and strength.
Camels carry packages long distances to market and are used as a form of transportation.
By the age of one year, the camel can take voice cammands from their owner. Humans also use many of the camel's by-products, especially camel meat and milk. Fat from the humps is melted down and serves in cooking. Dung provides fuel for heating. Loose hair is used for making clothes, blankets, carpets, and tents.
