"What are we going to put HERE?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's hot. It's dry. There's no water. It's sandy. No species can live here."
"Well, the species will simply have to carry water with them."
"And how do you propose we do that? Put a bowl on its head?"
"Of course not. We would have a storage area- the back, maybe?"
"That sounds stupid. Okay, let's say it can drink. What about food?"
"Well, you know what we did for the cows. They eat, and later, they move the food from their first stomach back to their mouth to chew. Then it goes to their next stomach."
"That's gross."
"It works…"
"Fine. I'm still skeptical about the water. The food is tentative. How's it going to reach the leaves, anyway?"
"A super long flexible neck, of course."
"Oh. Of course."
"Here- I started a prototype."
"Look at it! It's falling all over the sand dunes!"
"Okay, so we put shock absorbers in its feet."
"That is the most awkward looking animal I've ever seen. Watch it sit down, look! It rocks forward, backward, falls on its knees, on its other knees, stretches its legs out… there, it's done."
"But it works, right? And we did want an animal for the desert."
"I suppose. What's this called?"
"Camel."
