Animal

Adaptions

The camel is a well adapted animal to it's enviroment. It's coat reflects the harsh sunlight, their long legs keep their body away from the hot ground. During sandstorms their eyes are protected by long eyelashes and an inner eyelid which allows some light in so the camel can still see. The camel can close it's nostrils so no sand gets in and large amounts of hair protect the ear.Unlike what most people think a camel's hump does not actually store water. It is in fact a store of fatty tissue which can convert to energy. The camels intestine and kidneys store water making it possible for the camel to survive in the hot desert.
