The Saharan silver ant (Cataglyphis bombycina) is a type of ant that inhabits the Sahara Desert. See Wikipedia.com. The ant is actually silvery due to desert's high temperature. They have longer legs than other ants to keep their body away from the hot sand. They use only four of their six legs to travel in the desert.

Why ants require much water than camel?

Because they're smaller, and their skin is much thinner in comparison, so they lose water far more easily. However, the animal most resistant to heat, and the only one able to hunt at midday in the heart of the Sahara, is an ant - the Saharan silver ant, which reflects most of the sunlight. It's only outside the colony for brief times, though. ^^
