Camels have several physical characteristics to help their survival and to stop them dehydrating in the heat. Bactrian camels come from the Gobi desert in Mongolia. They have two humps and can go for months without drinking. They hardly ever urinate or sweat. Humps store fat which can be chemically converted to water and energy in times of need. Their dung is so dry it could be burnt as firewood
