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.
The tanned hide is used to make shoes, sandals, and other leather products. In some countries, camels are an indication of wealth. When very hungry, camels may eat people's possessions such as tents, sandals or blankets. These wild groups are in the severe danger of going extinct and little is known about them. The estimated number of wild camels ranges from 500 to 1000.
