Question

Why did the Berbers start using camels instead of donkeys and horses when transporting goods across the desert? a. Donkeys and horses became very difficult to find. c. A camel’s natural features, such as their soft pad feet and ability to store fat within its hump, allow the camel to travel more efficiently through the dessert. b. Camels’ legs are longer than those of a horse or a donkey, so camels were able to move faster than donkeys or horses. d. Camels were used because they were also part of the trade system. After helping to tow other goods the camels could also be sold.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Berbers started using camels instead of donkeys and horses when transporting goods across the desert because camels' natural features, such as their soft pad feet and ability to store fat within its hump, allow them to travel more efficiently through the dessert.

Step-by-step explanation:

Camels are normally used as pack animals. They can ingest 180 liters of water at one time and move without taking water again for more than 10 days, which is enormously effective in the desert, due to the lack of water in it.
