The baby said,"OK, then why are our legs long and feet rounded?" The mother said,"These are meant for walking in the desert as you know with these legs, we can move around the desert better than anyone else."
Baby said,"All right, then why our eyelashes long? Sometimes these get in my way."
The mother replied,"Dear son, the eyelashes are protective cover. These help us to protect our eyes from the desert sand and wind."
The baby camel thought a moment then said,"I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs help us in walking through the desert and these eye lashes protect our eyes from the desert then why in the Zoo?"
