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
