Camel Facts

There are two types of camels: One humped or “dromedary” camels and two humped Bactrian camels.
Camels have three sets of eyelids and two rows of eyelashes to keep sand out of their eyes.
Camels have thick lips which let them forage for thorny plants other animals can’t eat.
Camels can completely shut their nostrils during sandstorms.
Thanks to thick pads of skin on their chest and knees, camels can comfortably sit in very hot sand. 

Their humps let them store up to 80 pounds of fat which they can live off for weeks and even months!
When a camel finally does find water, he can drink up to 40 gallons in one go.
Camels are very strong and can carry up to 900 pounds for 25 miles a day.
Camels can travel at up to 40 miles per hour – the same as a racehorse!
Don’t make a camel angry – they can spit as a way to distract whatever they think is a threat 

Mother camels carry their calves up to 14 months before giving birth.
Some calves are born completely white and turn brown as their adult coat comes in. 

A group of camels is called a flock or a caravan.
A camel can indeed go long periods of time without water – precisely how long depends upon the temperature, the camel’s activity, and what type of food it is eating.
Thirsty camels can drink 30 gallons (135 liters) of water in less than 15 minutes.
Over a four-day period, a camel can haul 375 to 600 pounds (170 to 270 kilograms) at rates of 29 miles (47 kilometers) a day and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) an hour.
To keep sand out of their eyes, camels have double rows of long eyelashes, and they can cover their eye with a clear inner eyelid (nictitating membrane). They can also close their nostrils.
Camels don’t actually spit – it’s more like projectile vomiting. When camels feel threatened, they bring up their stomach contents and project it out, hoping to surprise, distract, or bother the offending party.
The life span is up to 50 years; average is 30 – 40 years. 


Wild Bactrian camels are critically endangered due to hunting, habitat loss, illegal mining activities and competition with livestock for grazing areas.

Tallest minaret

The tallest minaret in the world is that of the Great Hassan II Mosque, Casablanca, Morocco, measuring 200 m (656 ft). The cost of construction of the mosque was 5 billion dirhams (£360 million US$513.5 million). 


Among minarets of earlier centuries the tallest is the Qutb Minar, south of New Delhi, India, built in 1194 to a height of 72.54 m (238 ft). The mosque can accommodate 25,000 worshipers in its prayer hall, which has a retractable roof and a further 80,000 outside.

The Merlion

The Merlion is the symbol of Singapore: the name combines “mer” (sea) and “lion”.

Japan

In Japan, tall buildings do not have a fourth floor. Thinking why? Because they avoid the number four(shi) as it sounds the same as the word for death(shi).

Haiku, a traditional form of the Japanese poetry is the world's shortest poetic form and consists of only three lines. 

Ōkunoshima, an island in Japan, is full of rabbits. You might be thinking how? Well, they were brought there during World War II to test the effects of poison gas.

In Japan, many girls go to the dentist to have their teeth purposefully unstraightened. Do you know why? Because Yaeba, or crooked teeth, are considered attractive in Japan. 

They have hotel rooms the size of 2 square meters long and 1.20 meters high and they are known as Capsule hotels.

75 % of Japan is mountainous, which forces 93.5 % of its population to live in the remaining 25 & of the land.

In Japan, it is considered rude to tear the wrapping paper off of a gift.

Armenia

More Armenians live abroad than in Armenia

There are approximately 11 million Armenians (or of Armenian descent) worldwide.

There are thought to be some 5.6 million people of Armenian descent living abroad, which is greater than the population of Armenia (3 million).

Its women are the sexiest in the world

At least that’s according to a dubious poll of 44,000 US men, who voted Armenian women the world’s sexiest.

Armenia is home to the world’s longest non-stop double track cable car. The cable car runs for a total of 5,752 meters, or 18,871 feet

The country’s national symbol is Mt. Ararat.
But Mt. Ararat is actually located in Turkey.
