उत्तर
Camels have to walk on sand. To walk fast, the feet should not sink in sand, the feet area broad i.e. increase in area. Hence, lesser pressure will help to sink less and so camels have broad feet.
Elephants have broad feet in proportion to their size. Because of their weight and size, elephants need to distribute the weight better.
