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.
