Today am going to talk about Camels. There are variouse types of camels one of them is the Bactrian camel and another well known is the Arabian camel. A bcaterian camel live in Central and East Asias rocky deserts. You can tell the diffrence because a bactarian has two humps on its back. These two humps are used to store fat. The arabian camel only has one hump were it also stores fat. Both these camels use their stored fat as energy and water when they are far away from food or water sources. Even thought camels can travel long distances in hot conditions without drinking water. They can survive without drinking water for weeks. Storing fat in their humps helps camels not get hot and travel longer distances. At times camels can drink up to 30 gallons of water in 13 minutes. Camels also shed during diffrent seasons, during the winter it has a thick coat to protect them from the cold as the temperature changes so does their fur. Bacterian camels get to be 6.5 feet tall and have wide-toed hoofs and big flat footpads that prevent them form sinking in snow or sand.
