       Camels are remarkable animals, well-suited to survive in harsh environments. Known as the "ships of the desert," they have special features that enable them to endure extreme conditions. Their humps store fat, not water, which can be changed into energy and water when needed. This allows camels to go without water for long periods. Their thick fur protects them from the intense desert heat and cold, keeping them comfortable in extreme temperatures. Camels have wide, padded feet that prevent them from sinking into the sand and long legs that help them travel long distances. Additionally, their long eyelashes and ear hairs protect their eyes and ears from sandstorms, while their nose can close to keep out dust. These adaptations make camels incredibly well-suited to life in the desert.
