facts on camels
last sunday.. we went to check the singapore expo hoping to find some good buys.. as my pangga and i already have laptops.. we didnt find anything else.. =( we were checking out the mp3 players (coz my dad wants one) but i can buy the same thing at a lower price in the mall.. so we just opted to cut our shopping trip short and go home.. *sigh*but i did learn something new from my snapple apple drink.. =p there's a fact noted on the bottle cap..
A CAMEL HAS THREE EYELIDS. i got curious so i did some casual reading.. and here's what i found out..
--> if sand gets into a camel's eye, it uses its third eyelid to get it out.. the picture looks kinda freaky huh.. it's like a windshield wiper on a car! =D
the eyelid moves from side to side to get the sand out. =) this eyelid is very thin, so the camel can see through it.. and camels often close their third eyelids while walking during sandstorms found out one more thing..
--> to keep sand from blowing in their noses, camels can shut their nostrils.. (wish i can do that while swimming.. hehehe..)

what about their humps?
theory#1: when the sandstorm is too strong, and the rider slides off the camel's back, the hump is where the rider's feet will hook itself to prevent the rider from falling to the ground.
theory#2: that is where they keep their belongings to prevent sand from getting into their stuff.
theory#3: for rider's pleasure. 'nuff said. heheheh!
SI JANE TALAGA! HENYA! :-D
