The camel asks its mother several questions to understand why camels have evolved certain physical traits. The mother explains that camels have humps to store water, long legs and rounded feet to walk easily in the desert, and long eyelashes to protect their eyes from sand and wind while in the desert. However, the final question from the camel reveals that they are currently in a zoo, questioning why they are there rather than in the desert environment they are naturally adapted for.

1. Sure, why son, is there
something bothering
you?
Mother, may I ask you
some questions?

2. Well son, we are desert animals, we
need the humps to store water and we
are known to survive without water.
Why do camels have
humps?

3. Son, obviously they are meant for
walking in the desert better than
anyone does.
OK, then why are our legs
long and our feet rounded?

4. My son, those long thick eyelashes are
your protective cover. They help to protect
your eyes from the desert sand and wind.
OK, then why are our
eyelashes long? Sometimes
it bothers my sight.

5. I see. So the hump is to store
water when we are in the
desert, the legs are for
walking through the desert
and these eyelashes protect
my eyes from the desert
sand…

6. Yes, dear?
Just one more question
Mother…

7. What the hell are we doing in
the ZOO?!
