The Camel cam go without water for a long time. Some people think is stores water in its hump. This is not true.It stores food in its hump. TH camel's body changes the food into fat. Then is store the fat in its hump.It can not stores the fat all over its body. Fat all over an animal's body keeps the animal warm. Camel live in the desert. They do not want to be warm during the day.
The desert is very hot. The camel gets hotter and hotter during the day. It stores this heat in its body because the night are cool. Perhaps nowhere else on earth is more associated with the camel than the Arabian Peninsula. Their story is not one of a free population; however, but of a domesticated animal. Throughout history, Arabian camels have served the needs of humans, and have benefited from that service as a species. Humans have in fact assured the survival of camels for thousands of years and quite literally led them to success as a species that they probably would never have had on their own. The camel has played such an important role in Arab culture that there are over 160 words for "camel" in the Arabic language.The Arabian camel has one hump. Bactria camel of Central Asia has two humps.The geography and climate have combined to define an entire culture with the camel at its core. This certainly must be seen as high praise of this remarkable animal.It also has long thinks hair because the winters are cold in central Asia. There is a lot of send in the desert. The camel has long eyelashes. Then the send can not go into the camel's eyes.Arabic has about 150 word to describe a camel. Arabs need all these word because the camel is very important to them.Camels have lived in some of the most desolate corners of our planet, and not only do they live, they thrive. Most large animals are unable to survive in these kinds of desolate places. This is because of their large requirement for resources such as food and water. Camels are able to use this to their advantage as a survival strategy. By living in deserts, mountains, and other arid places Camels are able to avoid predators, and others who would compete for resources. Camels are only able to do this because of their amazing ability to efficiently use the resources their environments provide. A camel can travel long distances which allow them to take advantage of the maximum number of resources. They can withstand a massive amount of dehydration which allow them to survive not only between watering holes, but sometimes between seasons. When at a watering hole camels are able to gorge themselves and rehydrate quickly. For food, camels are omnivorous. They can eat almost anything be it vegetation, meat, or bone,-- salty or sweet, a camels stomach knows no limits. But it is their temperament that is truly endeared the camel to man. Docile and sweet under a caring hand, but stubborn and angry if ill treated, the camel both wins your heart and your respect.
