Camels are very intelligent and have incredible endurance and patience. They can go up two months without food, and two weeks without water by using the vast sustenance stored in their humps. The single-humped camel is the Dromedary camel of the desert. The only other true species of camel is the two-humped Bactrian Camel, which is found in colder climates of Asia.

Algeria has been a Muslim city since around 950, and the Phoenecians and Romans were hanging around the area before then. Around 1492 a population of Jews and Moors who had been kicked out of Spain took up residence. In 1518 the Turks took over the show. Then, for about 300 years, the Barbary Pirates had their head office there. The French came to town in 1830 and mixed it up for 18 years before annexing the whole country. By the time World War II was on, a whole lot of things happened.
