Camels have adapted to the desert because Camels normally live in a hot area. Did you know in the desert it can get up to 42 degrees of heat? This is probably why camels can drink up to 46 Liters of water in one session.
The extreme heat makes the sand very hot so on their feet camels have special pads that help them walk on the hot sand they also have webbed between their toes to help them walk easily. Camels have doubled eyelashes and has ears that are covered in long hair. The Eyelashes and ears help so sand cannot go in their eyes or ears. Nostrils can close so sand can’t go into their nose.
Camels have thick lips that will help them eat sharp foods like thorns, cactus, twigs, and bones. In the Cactus they produce water.
Camels can survive without drinking water for 30 days. Camels also have thick fur for the shade that is on top of their hump. In the Camel's hump, they have fat. Fat helps them helps them have energy when they can’t find food.
Nowadays camels still have adapted to a very hot and dry desert. The desert has no water, but in the cactus, they produce water for the camel's hump.
