Answer:
The camel has many adaptive traits for their life in the desert. They have wide feet for walking in sand. They have long eyelashes and thin, slit nostrils that they can close to protect them from blowing sand. They are adapted to survive a long time without water and food.

Answer:
THE MOST COMMON ADAPTIONS OBSERVED IN CAMELS :-
- They can survive for days without water.
- Camels have thick coats that insulate them from excessive heat radiated from the sun, and during summer, their coats reflect light and help them avoid sunburn.
- Camels have nostrils that can close, and this protects them from sand blown by the desert wind. The nostrils are also slit-like, and when they exhale, water vapor is trapped, and they are reabsorbed into the body again.
- Long eyelashes protect the eyes from blowing sand and sun rays. In their eyes, they have a third eyelid, which is clear and protects the eyes from the sand as well.
- They also have broad and large footpads that help the camel to walk with ease through the desert sand.
SOME OTHER ADAPTIONS :-
- Unique digestive and urinary systems
- The urinary and digestive tracts of camels are well suited to conserve water.
- Tolerance against water loss and water intake.
- Unique blood cells .
The viscosity of blood in a camel can remain relatively the same even when it is severely dehydrated. This is one of the most critical evolutionary adaptive traits among the camels during excessive dehydration and high heat load.
