Camel, Undefeatable Animal in Dessert

A camel, an animal which well known with humps on its back. Camels are native to the dry desert areas of West Asia, and Central and East Asia, respectively. They are domesticated to provide milk and meat, and as beasts of burden.

The average life expectancy of a camel is 40 to 50 years. They can run at up to 65 km/hour in short bursts and sustain speeds of up to 40 km/hour

Actually, camels do not store water in their humps as is commonly believed. The humps are actually a reservoir of fatty tissue. Concentrating body fat in their humps minimizes heat-trapping insulation throughout the rest of their body, which may be an adaptation to living in hot climates. Their ability to withstand long periods without water is due to a series of physiological adaptations.

Camels eat green herbage can ingest sufficient moisture in milder conditions to maintain their bodies' hydrated state without the need for drinking.
