Adaptations for hot climates
- Deserts are hot by day, cold at night, and receive very little rainfall.
The camel
Camels are well adapted for survival in the desert. Their adaptations include:
- large, flat feet - to spread their weight on the sand
- thick fur on the top of the body for shade, and thin fur elsewhere to allow easy heat loss.
- a large surface area to volume ratio - to maximise heat loss
- the ability to go for a long time without water - they lose very little water through urination and perspiration
- the ability to tolerate body temperatures up to 42°C
- slit-like nostrils and two rows of eyelashes - to help keep out sand
