Which animals help to pull the carts? What kind of wheels do these carts have

Animals used to pull carts (draught animals)

• Oxen: Pull heavy bullock carts for farm and transport work.
• Horses: From light two-wheel carts to heavy wagons and carriages.
• Donkeys/Mules: Reliable on rough terrain; suited to lighter loads.
• Camels: Desert haulage over long distances with little water.
• Water buffalo: Common in Asia for carts and field tasks.
• Others: In some areas, goats or large dogs pull small carts.

Cart wheel types

• Solid wooden wheels: Early designs (e.g., Sumerian); still seen on traditional bullock carts.
• Spoked wheels: Lighter and faster; spokes mortised into hub and rim (classic chariots).
• Iron rims: Metal bands fitted to wood for durability.
• Modern upgrades: Steel/iron frames with pneumatic tyres for smoother ride and lower rolling resistance.
