The Camel is a large desert animal easily recognized by the hump on its back, which stores fat that can be converted to energy and water when needed. Camels can survive for days without drinking water, making them well-suited for the desert. Their long legs keep their bodies high above the hot sand, and they can consume large amounts of water in one go. Camels primarily eat plants and are often referred to as 'ships of the desert' due to their ability to carry people and goods across long distances in arid regions. These remarkable adaptations make camels essential for life in the desert.
