Study Notes
Camel Adaptations
- Camels can survive for an extended period without water due to the fat stored in their hump, which serves as an energy reserve.
- Slit-like nostrils help to keep sand out of their nostrils, protecting their respiratory system from the harsh desert environment.
- Two rows of eyelashes act as a barrier, preventing sand from entering their eyes and allowing them to see clearly in sandy conditions.
- Wide, flat feet help camels to walk on sand, providing stability and support on shifting terrain.
- Thick fur serves a dual purpose: it protects their skin from the intense desert sun during the day and keeps them warm at night in the cold desert climate.
