Not drinking water for long periods is primarily a behavioral adaptation for camels. They have evolved to survive in arid environments by altering their behavior, such as drinking large amounts of water when available and minimizing water loss through various physiological mechanisms. Additionally, their ability to tolerate dehydration and regulate body temperature helps them conserve water effectively in harsh conditions.
As an adaptation to living in arid environments, California Quails can often get by without water, acquiring their moisture from insects and succulent vegetation. During periods of sustained heat they must find drinking water to survive.
No.
The change of inherited characteristics of species over long periods of time is called evolution.
Yes. Of course.
Long Periods
development of periods of growth and dormancy
Most cacti are able to store water in their stems for periods of drought.
Nothing.
Drinking can cause major cramps. It's normal.
Camels evolved their unique hump adaptation to store fat reserves, which provide them with energy and hydration during long periods of time without food or water in their desert environment.
Plants in the desert are shorter & have developed the adaptation to survive long periods of drought & hot weather
Dehydration can be a cause of leg cramps therefore, drinking water can help to prevent them. Sitting for long periods of time and not getting enough potassium can also cause leg cramps.
