Answer:
- The body of the camel has short, thick fur that protects it from the Sun during the day and freezing temperatures at night.
- The thickly padded toes of the camel, prevent it from sinking into the sand.
- • Camels have heavy eyelashes, ears and nostrils to keep out the sand.
- . Camels store fat in their hump, which supplies them with energy when in need. So they can live without food for many days.
- • Camels can travel for many days without drinking water, but when it does, it takes in a lot of water, i.e., about thirty gallons at a time. Since they urinate or sweat very less, so they can conserve water in their bodies.
