How The Camel Adapted To The Desert


Image result for camel
Are you aware that a camel can survive in a desert in 45° c temperatures?


Camels live in the deserts where it is very dry and has an unforgiving climate. 


 You might be asking yourself how a camel can survive in the desert? Well, in order for a camel to survive in the desert for a very long time it has extra thick layered pads on each foot and chest, double layered eyelashes, nostrils that can close up to avoid the sand, thin layers of fur on body for shade and webbed feet to prevent it from sinking into the hot sand...

Camels have thick lips so they can eat thorny foods such as twigs, cactus, and many others

Using webbed feet, double layered eyelashes, pads on each foot and chest, thick lips and thin layers of fur will help the camel survive in the desert.

Yesterday I have been working hard on completing an explanation about camels and how they adapted into the desert. I have learnt many interesting things about camels like why they have thick lips, thin layers of fur, two layered eyelashes, pads on their feet and webbed feet. These are all the parts of the camel's body that helped it adapt to the desert. The one thing I found very interesting was that the camel can drink up to 46 litres of water in just one go! that is the same as 46 1 litre coke bottles. I had fun learning about the camel and what adaptation defines/means.
