About 900lbs. (That's about 100 gallons) -My camels drank up to 130 liters at the most. This water gets stored in the blood stream (diluting the blood) after (just after they drink it) being stored in the stomach lining for about 24 hours.
Camels do not store water. The idea that camels store water in their humps was a zoological hoax. Camels actually convert the water into fat, which is stored in their humps and metabolised if they need water.
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.
camels survive with all the fat stored in their humps and they can go for weeks without water
Camels store fat, not water, in the humps on their backs. Living in desert environments, camels use this stored fat for energy if food is not available; the animals can go days without eating. A camel can also go days without drinking because there are pockets in the walls of its stomach that hold water
No, people do not drink the water from the stomach of a camel.
they can go days without water it is stored in there hump or humps.
Having fat (food) stored in their hump, and water stored in their stomach are a great help in surviving in the desert, where food and water are often non-existent.
Their humps can store many water in it.So they can go withour water for a few weeks.
Think about it. they live in a desert with no water for miles. They need that stored water to live off for many days
No. Camels do not store water in their hump. The hump is used to store fat.
No. Despite the lore surrounding camels and their humps, a camel's hump has nothing to do with their excellent retention of water.
It is used to store water, camels can go for many days without water due to being able to store it in there humps.
