How can a camel defend itself against predators?
Not many camels exist in the wild, but their main predators are wolves, Caspian tigers, Asiatic lion, and of course humans which we have domesticated them.
Only in areas where there are also big cats (lions, leopards, jaguars, cougars), wolves, hyenas, or jackals. Many camels live in areas inhospitable to these predators. And, of course, man has both hunted and domesticated camels for thousands of years.

camels is one of endangers animals on earth. most animals can help the earth. since camels is mostly found on a desert land camels contributes to people as another way of carrying because there the only animal that can survive while traveling in hot and cool place in Mediterranean, they have there own safety back where they can store the' water for a long time and use it when ever they need it.so in this case there is no need to use gas to travel in the desert that makes them help the earth
The dromedary camel is separated from other camels. This separation is known because of the dromedary camel only having one hump on its back. The color of the dromedary camel differs from light tan to a dark brown.
How have camels adapted to the hot desert?
Camels have always lived in hot places and have thus adapted to suit it, like how all animals adapt to their surroundings. They can close their nostrils off from the wind and store water in their humps. They can also cope without water for a long time. This all helps them to cope in the desert heat.
Yes. Australia is the only country that has wild camels. The Arab traders brought them over to help transport luggage and goods, and they just started to breed, and now there is a large number of wild camels, mostly in central Australia.
Camels eat very rarely. They can drink up from 60 to 200 gallons of water at once though!
Nothing different than usual. Though in the winter is the rainy season, so they usually would store up on water. By the way, contrary to belief water is not stored in the hump, fat is.
What animal class do camels belong?
Camels belong to the family of Camelidae, a suborder to Tylopoda.
Tylopoda themselves belong to the order Artiodactyla, or cloven-footed animals.

They strip. and throw water over themselves.
they do this by getting there teeth and ripping their loose skin off and they throw water over themselves with their feet.
How a camel is adapted to its environment?
Their ability to withstand long periods without water is due to a series of physiological adaptations. Their red blood cells have an oval shape, unlike those of other mammals, which are circular. This is to facilitate their flow in a dehydrated state. These cells are also more stable in order to withstand high osmotic variation without rupturing when drinking large amounts of water (100 litres (22 imp gal; 26 US gal) to 150 litres (33 imp gal; 40 US gal) in one drink). Oval red corpuscles are not found in any other mammal, but are present in reptiles, birds, and fish.
Camels are able to withstand changes in body temperature and water content that would kill most other animals. Their temperature ranges from 34 °C (93 °F) at night up to 41 °C (106 °F) during the day, and only above this threshold will they begin to sweat. The upper body temperature range is often not reached during the day in milder climatic conditions, and therefore, the camel may not sweat at all during the day. Evaporation of their sweat takes place at the skin level, not at the surface of their coat, thereby being very efficient at cooling the body compared to the amount of water lost through sweating. This ability to fluctuate body temperature and the efficiency of their sweating allows them to preserve about five litres of water a day. A feature of their nostrils is that a large amount of water vapor in their exhalations is trapped and returned to their body fluids, thereby reducing the amount of water lost through respiration.
They can withstand at least 20-25% weight loss due to sweating (most mammals can only withstand about 15% dehydration before cardiac failure results from circulatory disturbance). A camel's blood remains hydrated, even though the body fluids are lost, until this 25% limit is reached.
Camels eating green herbage can ingest sufficient moisture in milder conditions to maintain their bodies' hydrated state without the need for drinking.
A camel's thick coat reflects sunlight, and also insulates it from the intense heat radiated from desert sand. A shorn camel has to sweat 50% more to avoid overheating. Their long legs help by keeping them further from the hot ground. Camels have been known to swim.
Their mouth is very sturdy, able to chew thorny desert plants. Long eyelashes and ear hairs, together with sealable nostrils, form a barrier against sand. Their gait and their widened feet help them move without sinking into the sand.
The kidneys and intestines of a camel are very efficient at retaining water. Urine comes out as a thick syrup, and their feces are so dry that they can fuel fires.
