Title: why can elephants move faster on coastal sand dunes than camels??
Post by: Roger on January 07, 2026, 02:03:58 PM
Camels are perfectally at home in scrub or massive dunes,Nellies are forest and/or open plain/savannah animals and certainly aren't "better" than camels in sand based scrub,there are Namibian elephants that have evolved to manage sand dunes, but at the cost of smaller bodies and larger feet, so not particularly suitable for war elephants, the point to be made here is Camels don't need adaption to be effective in any desert/sandy terrain coastal or otherwise, moving at their normal speed over most variations of desert terrain, whereas a very small subset of elephants had to evolve to manage desert/dune terrain, the Tuaregs managed wonderfully well to maneuver and fight in all the variations of terrain with their camels,

The point has been noted and when we review the amendments this will be considered. This is true of any points raised via this forum.
