- Camels can store water in their body and hence can survive without water for many days.
- Camels have thick fur so that shade can be provided from the summer heat

Explanation:
A camel is adapted to the desert environment whereas a fish is adapted to live in water. Adaptation to a habitat does not take place in a short time. Over thousands of years, the abiotic factors of a region change.
