How do camels adapt to very hot conditions?
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.
What are elephant seals enemies?

other predators include arctic foxes killer whales greenland sharks and walruses
what are seals enemies
Camels have brains and nervous systems, as do all mammals. Their cerebral development is limited, however, much as in dogs, cats, and horses.
Is the camel the most important animal in the desert?
Camels are a form of transport, they also provide milk and meat for humans.
Can you cut a camels hump off and get water?
Camels are well known for their humps. However, they do not store water in them as is commonly believed; their humps are actually a reservoir of fatty tissue. When this tissue is metabolized, it is only a source of energy, but would yield more than 1 g of water for each 1 g of fat converted through reaction with oxygen from the air. This process of fat metabolization generates a net loss of water through respiration for the oxygen required to convert the fat.
Why a camel can easily walk on the desert but a horse cannot?
The camels ability to walk easily in the desert compared to a horse has to do with it's foot structure. A camel has a very big foot in comparison to a horses hoof. The size of the foot allows the camels greater weight to be more evenly distributed over the ground, which keeps it from sinking. In the past Bedouins would reserve their Arabian horses for short sprints or battles over relatively stable sands. The camel was used for long distance transport.
How does a camel adapt to seasonal changes?
Unlike most mammals, a healthy camel's body temperature fluctuates throughout the day from 34°C to 41.7°C. This allows the camel to conserve water by not sweating as the environmental temperature rises.
Why do camels excrete wastes in the form of pallets?
Do camels live in the mid east?
Yes, camels do live in the mid east. As long as there is a desert, there is a camel. Although, they do live in the mid east, they are rarely seen there. New York City is 1/8 part of the mid east, but NYC is rather cold so camels do not live here.
Why do camel have fat filled humps?
Camel bulges are actually filled with fat. The longer a camel does not eat or is able to drink the "hump(s)" will appear deflated since it will pull from the fat store for survival.
ok you insert your penis into the woman's vagina and it will get stiff and stick up and you move it up and down trust me it is wonderful and you should make noises like uh uh uh and lick the woman's boob for style.
AnswerHumping is very easy to do while having sex, All you have to do is put your/his penis in your/her vagina and move your hips in and back and forward motion, Or some even hump in an up and down motionHow many feet does a camel have?
A full-grown adult camel stands 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in) at the shoulder and 2.15 m (7 ft 1 in) at the hump
Are camels prey or a predator?
Yes. Most camels are domesticated. But the Australian feral [Camelus dromedarius] and the Bactrian [Camelus bactrianus] live in the wild. The latter is on the top 10 critically endangered species list, because of the effects of development and drought in the Gobi desert. For camels risk being the prey of human hunters for clothing, food, and sport. In addition, and particularly in the Gobi, wolves linger around watering holes to finish off camels, whose meat has been a known delicacy since the time of the ancient Persians. Bactrian camels also are vulnerable to attacks when brown bears and snow leopards drop by.
What is a camel with no humps called?
A camel with two humps is called the Bactrian camel.
They are native to Central and East Asia.
A camel with one hump is called the Arabian camel or Dromedary camel.
They are native to dry desert areas of West Asia.
Both are domesticated, they both work for humans (like horses) and they both provide milk (like cows).
The Bactrian camel has two humps.
The camels are well adapted to their environments so their isn't any threats.
A threat would be how human uses them in the market,
Other than that, Camels have all features to help them adapt to the desert and hot environments they have. Hope this helps.
Why do camels sweet when the temperature is above 46 degrees?
Camels actually do sweat but in the skin so it actually doesn't surface to the camels fur coat there for its not visible to the human eye that why people think they don't but the do you just aren't able to see it.
Did wild camels used to live in Arizona?
Camels were never native to Arizona. Any camels that ever existed in Arizona were brought over from the Middle East and Northern Africa, where they are native to. The only camels living in Arizona are held in captivity.
