A camel is an equally untouched in the genus Kemalus that bears specific fatty deposits known as "humps" on its back. Camels have been domesticated for a long time and, as livestock, they provide food (milk and meat) and textiles (felt from fiber and hair). As working animals, camels - which are uniquely suited to their desert habitat - are an important means of transportation for passengers and cargo. There are three living species of camel. Camels have a series of physical adaptations that allow them to withstand long periods without any external source of water. Dromedary camels can rarely drink once every 10 days, even under very hot conditions, and may lose up to 30% of their body mass due to dehydration. Unlike other mammals, the camel's red blood cells are oval rather than circular.
Speciality:-
Camels can reach 7 feet in height (on the hump) and weigh up to 1500 pounds. They are particularly adapted to life in the desert. They have three eyelashes and two eyelids that prevent sand from entering their eyes. ... Camels are mostly famous for their humps.
Facts:-
1) Camels can move easily across the sand due to their specially designed legs. The camel has two claws at its feet which extend when the animal touches the ground and prevents it from drowning in the sand.
2) Camels are mostly famous for their humps. Most people believe that humps store water, but they store fat, which animals use as a source of energy when other food sources are not available.
3) When they get water, they will drink as much as possible. They can drink up to 40 gallons of water at a time.
4) The camel needs to retain as much water as possible in its body, so it produces urine that is in the form of dense syrup and feces that are so dry, that it can be used as fuel.
5) Pregnancy in camel ranges from 9–14 months, depending on the availability of food. They have a calf and can walk for hours after it is born.
Food:-
In the desert, people feed camels with grass, grain, wheat, and oats. When camels are traveling in the desert, food is often very difficult to find. Then the animal may have to live on dried leaves, seeds, and prickly twigs. It mainly eats prickly vegetation, twigs, palm leaves, desert shrubs, dried leaves, seeds, fish meat, wheat, bones, dried grasses, even prickly pears, and also relies on those plants. Which are rich in salt which other animals cannot eat.
