Answer 2

Camels have adapted to living in deserts in many ways

The hump is full of fat, not water. It will shrink if the camel doesn't eat. Baby camels are born without a hump. They need start eating solids before they'll develop one (or two). They have a double row of long curly eye lashes to keep sand and dust out, and and a third eyelid acts as a windshield wiper, moving from side to side to wipe the sand away. They also have a ridge and thick bushy eyebrows to shade their eyes from the sun. Even though their ears are quite small, they have excellent hearing. They have fur inside their ears to keep sand and dust out. They can close their nostrils to keep sand out. Their feet are soft and spread out so they won't sink in the sand. They have two toes on each foot, joined by a tough web, and leathery padded souls. They form leathery pads on their knees for kneeling. They moult in spring and grow a new coat by autumn. They gulp down their food without chewing, then regurgitate & chew the cud later. In the wild camels get most of the water they need from the plants they eat, but in captivity they might not get enough. They need 30-40 litres of water each, and ,every day. If they are extremely thirsty, they can drink 100 litres in 10 minutes. Their natural diet is quite high in salt, so in captivity, they should be provided with a salt block to lick.
