How did camels get these adaptations?

Answer 1

The camel can store fat in hump(s) and store water in their stomach. They have broad feet to prevent sinking too much in the sand. They have long thick eyelashes and can close the nostril to keep out blowing sand. A heavy coat insulates them during the heat of the day, and during the often bitter cold of the night.

Answer 2

camels have humps to store fat

Answer 3

* camel have long eyelashes which protect it from sandstorm

*camel pass dry dung so that water does not get wasted

* it has a hump on its back in which food is stored so that it is used when it is short in food

* it does not sweat

*it has special foot which helps in walking at deserts

* nostrils are closed so that it keep out blowing sand

* thick hair at knees so that their leg wont burn

Answer 4

One way that camels have adapted to their environment over time is learning to be able to travel long distances without drinking. They also have long eye lashes that help keep sand out of their eyes. They have nostrils that open and close to keep sand out of their nose as well.

Answer 5

• they have big hooves so they don't sink in the sand.

• they have long legs so their body is far away from the sand.

• they have long eyelashes so sand doesn't go in their eyes.

• they can close their nostrils so sand doesn't get in their nose.

• they have fat in their hump so they can go along time without food.

Answer 6

First, camels can store up to 50 gallons of water in one of their stomachs, which allows them to last up to five days in the desert without drinking any water. Their two-toed feet are designed to spread their weight, so that they do not sink into the sand. Their nostrils are narrow slits, and they have long eyelashes, which keep the wind from blowing sand into their nose or eyes. They can also store fat in their hump, which gives them energy when food is scarce, but unlike storing fat throughout the body, the fat in the hump will not insulate them in hot conditions. Camels, because of the shape of their blood cells, can lose up to 25% of their bodily fluids without dying, unlike the 15% limit for most mammals.
