Camels have many adaptations that allow them to live successfully in desert conditions. Deserts are hot and dry. Winds blow sand all around, so a camel has long eyelashes. It has nostrils that can open and close.

Cactus have a widespread root system (made up of fibrous roots) that can allow them to collect water from a large area. Root hairs grow on fibrous roots collecting even the smallest droplets of water. After the ground dries the hairs will die meaning the cactus wouldn't have to use extra energy to maintain them. Cacti also have spines (the prickly thorn like things) in which replace leaves. These spines minimise the surface area of the cactus reducing water loss. The cacti’s stem is also thick and fleshy allowing it to store a lot of water. The stem also has a waxy waterproof kind of coating to help retain more water.
