Camels are the main means of transportation for Mongolians. The road construction in northwest China is underdeveloped, so if you want to go out for commodity trade, you must have transportation. In the arid and harsh environment of northwest China, ordinary walking animals are not suitable for survival, and camels have become their main mode of transportation. Therefore, Mongolians respect camels very much and are very grateful to them, so they give them the title of King of Five Animals to show their respect.

Mongolian herders believe that it is healthy to have all five kinds of animals on a grassland. In different grassland types, the adaptability of five animals is different, and the proportion will be different.

Judging from the concept of five animals and one boat in the desert, in the eyes of Mongolian herders, camels are children of grassland, not just vehicles in the desert.
