Best Answer

a camel's hump is not used for water storage, it stores fat. When the camel uses fat from the 'hump' it will droop and then with food and rest it will return to normal


They have lumps because they put their food in there.

Camels have humps because that is where they store their water reserves which is why they are able to survive the desert for as long as they do.

The camels have bumps on their backs so that they can store fat and water. That is why camels don't drink a lot of water.
