There is nothing particularly special about camels. Dispersal over huge distances is not at all unusual with land animals…Horses are much the same as camels, and frogs, toads, shrews, deer, cats, weasels, otters, hares, skinks, chameleons, and geckos…
-Where Do Camels Belong?, Ken Thompson
I don’t think KhairAllah would be pleased to hear skinks and toads being called the equal of camels at any level. Chameleons? Maybe yes to that one. Drovers do become somewhat the same color and acquire the same odor of the camels they ride for forty days. The same trail dust and almost the same sustenance, millet flour and acacia thorn being close olfactory cousins once they exit the digestive tract. But KhairAllah would not hesitate in answering the book title’s question. Camels belong in Dar al-Kababish.
