What do camels carry in their hump?

Answer 1

The hump(s) of a camel is their reservoir of fatty tissue. Rather than having heat-insulating fat distributed throughout the body, it is concentrated in the hump(s). The fatty tissue of the hump(s) can be metabolized for energy but a net loss in water through respiration.

Camels store fat in their humps. Most people think that they store water for when they cross the desert.

a camel's hump is a giant mound of fat, actually. In a healthy, well-fed camel, the hump can weigh as much as 80 pounds (35 kilograms)! Human beings and most animals store their fat mixed in with muscle tissue or in a layer right beneath the skin. Camels are the only animals with a hump. The hump allows a camel to survive an extremely long time (up to two weeks) without food if need be. Because camels typically live in the desert, where food can be scarce for long stretches, this is important.

The answer is obviously not water but it is fat!can you guess why it can stay long without food and stuffs?the answer is, it's fat turns to energy like it eats fat so the fat waits till the camels energy is less then it turns to fat.Not only camel can to that also us example when we do fasting and when we are ill.
Camels do not store water in their humps as is commonly believed. The humps are actually a reservoir of fatty tissue. Concentrating body fat in their humps minimizes heat-trapping insulation throughout the rest of their body, which may be an adaptation to living in hot climates.

Answer 2

The Camels hump is a mound of fat allowing the camel to survive up to two weeks without food. The hump can weigh up to 80 lbs

Answer 3

Camels store water in there humps, that allows them to go without water for months.

Answer 4

It's a store of fatty tissue - the camel draws on this 'energy reserve' when it's needed.

Answer 5

They store fat in their humps. In fact the actual hump is made up of fat. The camels eat this fat is they have no food.
