Camels are adapted to desert environments with broad, flat feet that feature two toes connected by a flexible membrane or webbing. When a camel steps, these toes spread out, creating an enlarged foot surface. This larger surface area distributes the camel's heavy body weight more evenly, which decreases the pressure exerted on the ground. By reducing this pressure, the camel’s feet do not sink deep into the loose, shifting sand, allowing it to walk efficiently across the desert terrain.
