Why do camels have long legs and wide feet?

Camels have long legs and wide feet as adaptations that help them survive and move efficiently in desert environments. These body features allow them to handle hot sandy conditions more easily.

Long legs keep a camel's body farther away from the hot desert sand, reducing the effect of heat coming from the ground. Wide feet spread the camel's body weight over a larger area, preventing the animal from sinking deeply into loose sand while walking.

These adaptations help camels travel across deserts and survive in habitats with high temperatures and sandy surfaces.
