Camels
Camels are common desert animals that were once used, and still often used, to cross deserts with. Because they can go weeks without drinking water, they are easy to take care of. All questions regarding camels are welcome here.

How do you ride a one humped camel?
they are a different species than the one humped camel, not a mutation. there are plenty of other two humped, or bactrian, camels to breed successfully. one humped camels are called dromedaries and only breed with other one humped camels.
a camel's hump is not used for water storage, it stores fat. When the camel uses fat from the 'hump' it will droop and then with food and rest it will return to normal
They have lumps because they put their food in there.
The food that camels eat depend on whether they are domesticated, feral or living in zoos. In the wild, camels will eat just about anything as it is very hard to find food. They eat plants, dried leaves, seeds, bones, fish meat and even leather! Domesticated camels (those raised by people) are usually fed dates, grass, wheat and oats. In zoos, camels are fed hay and dry grass- about 3.5 kilograms of food everyday!
Camels can go for a long time without food and water, which is how they survive in deserts!
What makes camel different from other animals?
Camels are mammals because they meet all of the classification distinctions of mammals:
They are warm blooded, vertebrates, they have hair, they produce milk, and they give birth to live young.
What do camels use to survive?
Camels eat cacti and desert prickles. Sometimes they scavenge on the bodies of small dead mammals. They do not need water because their humps are full of water for their long walks backwards and forwards across the desert. (Camels do not actually have the ability to walk backwards, however). If they are startled they can jump up to two feet in the backwards direction
How does a camel's eyes help it survive in the desert?
well maybe because they have the thick and long eyelashes that coul protect the eyes from the sand so the eyes could see better with the protection of the eyelashes
No, camels are not pachyderms.
"Pachyderm" is an old term for a zoological ordering of animals that included elephants, rhinocerous and hippopotamus. It is now considered defunct.
In modern usage it usually just refers to elephants.

What conditions do camels live in?
The Arabian camel (single-humped camel) lives in the dry West Asian deserts.
The Bactiran camel (double-humped camel) lives in the harsher Central Asian and Eastern Asian deserts.
90% of the camel population has been domesticated by humans.
Camels were imported to Australia to assist with colonisation by helping humans transport goods over the vast Australian deserts and plains. Because horses struggled in the Australian desert climate. When roads and motorised transport were eventually established in Australia, the camels were released into the Australian wild.
Australian camels are one of the rare examples of wild camels left in the wild, since most herds have been domesticated.
In the 19th century camels were imported to the United States to assist in the US-Mexico war by transporting goods across the harsh American-Mexican deserts, because horses suffered in these environments. Camels were very unpopular with the Americans because they were not used to riding them. The Mexicans also made jokes about Americans with camels, because the Mexicans didn't really understand the camels usefulness compared to horses. Many camels escaped and roamed the American-Mexican deserts.
a Camel lives in a desert habitat.
Where is the shelter of camel and habit of camel?
They only natural shelter afforded to camels that I know of is the shade of a tree.
Why does camels body temperature change throughout the day?
the temperatures they have to put up with are between 34-41 degrees
A camel's habitat is dry desert and arid plains or hills where water sources and vegetation are very scarce.
A camels habitat is the desert.
It depends...
The Wild Batrian Camel lives in the arid plains or hills where water sources and vegetation are very scarce.
There are many different types of camels
Where do the two humped camel live?
The double humped camel occupies the desert regions of Central Asia: the Gobi desert, Bacteria, etc.
Why do you use camels to cross the desert?
The reason many Middle East people ride on camels in the desert is because camels can survive long periods of time without water, due to the humps on their backs. These humps store water and the camels can get hydrated even though they haven't drank in some time.
Why do camels have 1 or 2 humps?
A camel's (not cammal, by the way) hump is a giant mound of fat, actually. In a healthy, well-fed camel, the hump can weigh as much as 80 pounds! Human beings and most animals store their fat mixed in with muscle tissue or in a layer right beneath the skin. Camels are the only animals with a hump. The hump allows a camel to survive an extremely long time (up to two weeks) without food if need be. Because camels typically live in the desert, where food can be scarce for long stretches, this is important.
How long do the babies stay in a mother opossums pouch?
The mother Possum is pregnant on average 13 days. Then the young possums will stay in the mother's pouch for about 2 months to 7 weeks. After the young have spent all that time nursing inside the pouch, they have become covered in fur, and gotten bigger. They will now venture out of her pouch, they are still very small, about 2 inches long excluding their tails. The mother will carry her young everywhere, they will cling to her fur on her back and sides, until she is ready to wean them. For the first couple of weeks they will continue to nurse, after 2 weeks they are usually ready to eat adult food, and about a month after they start eating an adult diet, they will be fully weaned. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
The above refers to the Virginia Opossum, but not to true possums, which are native to Australia, and quite unrelated to opossums. There are many varieties of possums, with different gestation periods, but they tend to average between 16 and 18 days. Because there are so many varieties, and thus so many sizes, the amount of time they stay in the pouch varies.
Most smaller species such as the six species of gliders stay in the pouch for about 70 days. The smallest pygmy possum, the Little Pygmy possum, only stays in the pouch for around six weeks. The much larger Brushtail possum stays in its mother's pouch for around five months.
