We all hate having to be under the heat of the sun, or even just plain feeling hot especially during our weather today where hot becomes hotter. But there is one mammal that does not complain at all.
A camel’s body is so amazingly crafted to survive in the desert and even its harshest climates. They can even survive without food and water for long periods of time. This ability is due to their body’s ability to store fat in their humps and store water in the lining of their stomachs.
They also have their wide, padded feet which grips well on loose sandy soil that also stops them from sinking into the sand. Camels also has an insulating wool coat keeps out both the heat of the day and the cold of the night. Their hairy eyelashes, ears and slit nostrils keep out the desert dust and sand. And, if that wasn’t enough camels are also extremely simple about the food they eat, consuming anything from thorny shrubs to desert thistles.
