Camels are perfect to travel and live in the desert since they have long, protracted eyelashes to prevent blindness when the sand blows in their faces (since sand can cause blindness when in contact with the eye). Also because they have humps which what they have stored is fat when low on food and water. Some people say their humps are filled with water, but not at all, IT'S NOT TRUE! However, there is a tiny bit of water, but as the camels drink, the water is then dispersed throughout the whole body of the camel.

Glossary

Protracted - Lasting for a long time or longer than expected or usual.

Dispersed - Distribute or spread over a large/wide area.

Hope this helped! I know this from my report I did on 'Why Camels Are Fit For The Desert!' 3 years ago! They're quite interesting animal, don't you think?
