First of all camels DO NOT store water in their humps! In their humps there is extra fat. So don't stick a straw in there and expect to get some nice cool refreshing water. Camels store water in their second blatter. If you are wondering why camels have humps, no one really knows. God just built them wierd. Did you know also that camels have split lips? It's interesting. Trust me on this info I have more animal smarts than any one else in the world! :)

Where do camels store water if they don't store it in their humps?
No, they do not. The popular belief that camels store water in their humps is a myth and zoological hoax. Camels actually store fat in their humps. Excessive nutrients that the camel does not currently need are converted into fat and stored in the humps. These nutrients come from plants, seeds and water. 1,000g of fat in the camels hump can yield the equivalent to 1,111g of water when metabolised. In summary, camels do not physically store water in their humps. They store fatty tissue containing nutrients which is metabolised when the camel needs those nutrients.
