They have long eyelashes to keep out sand, humps that hold fat which they can turn into water, when they drink they drink alot as they don't know the next time they will drink, tail to flick away flies and padded feet so they don't burn or sink in the sand.
Answer
They can live for up to two weeks without food because their hump is filled with fat that can last them a while!!
Answer
- There are two types of camel.
- Camels with two humps are called Bactrian camels. They live in central and eastern Asia.
- Camels with one hump are called Arabic camels. They live in western Asia.
- Camels feet consist of wide-spread three toes. To prevent them sinking into the sand.
- Camels store fat in their humps from excessive nutrients from water and food.
- Camels do not store water in their humps. The belief that camels store water in their humps is a myth and zoological hoax.
- Camels have long thick eyelashes to protect their eyes from sand.
- Camels have hair covering their ears to prevent sand clogging them.
- Camels have slit-shaped noses covered with hair to prevent sand entering them. Camels can also close their nostrils if they need to.
- Camel hair protects the camels skin from the harsh desert sun and keeps them warm in the icy desert nights.
- Camel hair also reflects sunlight and is an insulator against heat and cold.
- Camels have a bare, hairless underbelly that helps them keep cool when lying on the sand.
- Camels mouths are tough and leathery, which enables them to eat thorny plants and cactuses.
- The name "camel" comes from the Arabic word ǧml, which means Beauty.
- Camels can survive 30 days without food and 2 weeks without water.
- Camels can drink 40 gallons of water in one go.
- Camels don't sweat until their body temperature reaches over 41 degrees Celsius. Humans and most animals typically sweat at 20 degrees Celsius.
- Camels can carry weight across deserts.
- Camels can produce milk. Camel milk is consumed by many people.
- Camel milk is believed to be a cure for autism in babies. Studies are ongoing.
- Camel milk was used to make the first yoghurts thousands of years ago.
- The lips of a camel are split to help them graze in the desert.
- Camels can kick in all four directions with their legs.
- Camels also defend themselves by regurgitating green bile from their stomach and spitting it at their target. The bile smells foul and puts the threat off the camel. Skunks have a similar but far more foul defence.
- Camel urine is thick like syrup.
- There are fossils of camels, indicating camel-like creatures have existed for millions of years.
- Camels are camouflaged. Their fur is the same or similar colour to their desert surroundings.
- Wild camels are rare. 90% of the camel populations have been domesticated.
- Camels are passive creatures and live peacefully alongside humans, just like cows and horses.
- Camels do love their human masters (if treated right). But they don't like listening to humans very much. Camels are very free-willed and prefer to do things their way.
- Camels were imported to Australia to help with colonisation by transporting supplies and people across the vast Australian deserts and plains. Horses suffered with these tasks because they tend to sink into the sand or died of dehydration.
- When roads, railways and motors were established in Australia, the camels were released into the Australian wild to live freely without human intervention as a "thank you for all your help".
- Camels were also imported to the United States during the US-Mexico war to help American soldiers transport supplies over the desert. The United States even created a official "US Camel Corps".
- The Americans had no idea how to ride or maintain camels very well because they were used to horses. So many camels escaped and roamed the wilderness, where their descendants still remain today.
Answer
Camels live for 40-50 years. They also stay with their parents for 10-11 years. Camels are mammals so they're born just like humans.
Camels have a layer of skin on their eyeballs to prevent desert sand from getting into their eyes such cool animals
