Yes, in fact they can because it is so windy and sand blows every where that a camels nostrils were made so that sand could not go through their nostrils and into their respiratory system. Also, they can keep all the condensation from breathing andsend it back to their body liquids, and they end up saving a LOT more water than if they had let the condensation evaporate.
