  • Since camels were able to use their large feet from sinking into the ground. They were also able to carry heavy loads while being able to travel long distances without requiring rest or water. Camels were the most reliable animals that could provide transportation to transport luxury goods such as silk, spices, and gun powder without slowing down.
  • Throughout one's journey, camels were used as resources; their milk and even their meat were part of travelers' diet.
  • Other animals that were used on the Silk Road include horses, mules and yaks.
  • The Parthians(Ancient Iraq) were the first to begin to use two-humped Bactrian camels which were able to transport heavy loads.  Other camels that were used were one-humped camels that were the most common camels used on the Silk Road, they were later defined as the "ideal pack animal".
