Question

How is a camel adapted to live in a desert?

Answer 1

Explanation:

“Camels are herbivores, they eat desert vegetation such as grasses, herbs and leaves. ”

Camels have many adaptations that allow them to live successfully in desert conditions. Some of the adaptations are as follows :-

• Deserts are hot and dry. Winds blow sand all around, so a Camel has long eyelashes. The long eyelashes keep sand out of the camel's eyes.

• It has nostrils that can open and close. The nostrils can close so it doesn't get sand up it's nose.

• Thick eyebrows shield the eyes from the direct sun.

• A Camel can go a week or more without water, and they can last for several months without food. They can drink up-to 32 gallons (46 litres) of water at one drinking session.

• Camels store fat in the hump, not water. The fat can be metabolised for energy.

• Unlike most mammals, a healthy camel's body temperature fluctuates throughout the day from 34°C to 41.7°C (93°F to 107°F). This allows the camel to conserve water by not sweating as the environmental temperature rises.

• Camels feet are wide so they can walk on sand more easily. Their huge feet help them to walk on sand without sinking into it.

• Camels have thick lips so that they can eat the prickly desert plants without feeling pain.

• The colour of their bodies helps them to blend into their environment.

• Camel's ears are covered with hair, even on the inside.The hair helps keep out sand or dust that might blow into the animal's ears.
