Camel - Ship of the desert.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelidae

I would like to know whether the Camels seen in zoos of all countries would be able to walk in the Sahara desert and other deserts where the temperature is very high?

Thanks.

Just a curious question from my side.

Hypothetically, Suppose Human being species would have born with Legs including the foot that of a Camel's feet say that of a Bactrian then the Human being would have been able to travel to the extreme hot weather of Sahara desert as well as the extreme cold weather barefooted?

Camel has two front and two rear legs.
Every leg has two fingers.
Human species have two legs.
Every leg has five fingers.

Hypothetically, if humans were born with legs and feet resembling those of a camel, their large, padded feet with broad, flat soles would help distribute their weight and minimize heat transfer from the ground. If humans had similar feet, it could potentially provide some insulation against the hot desert sands, reducing the risk of burns. However, camel-like feet alone may not fully enable humans to endure extreme temperatures without additional physiological changes. Other factors, such as body temperature regulation, water retention, and the overall physiology of the human body, would still play significant roles in surviving in such environments.
