make preparation?

[嘟嘟嘟嘟]

Unfortunately, many people can only see a camel's outstanding performance, but few understand its preparations made for it.

Can "preparations" be replaced by "preparation" in the sentence? Thanks for help.

It is usually "make preparations" (plural). http://www.thefreedictionary.com/preparation

It is better to use "the" before "preparation", to avoid a repeat of "it".

I don't think a camel actually prepares for anything.
