5 Interesting Facts About Camels!

Camels don't store water in their humps - they store fat! The humps provide energy reserves, which is why they droop and shrink when a camel hasn't eaten for a long time.
A thirsty camel can drink up to 200 litres of water in just 15 minutes - that's roughly filling a bathtub and a half in one sitting.
Camels have three eyelids and two rows of eyelashes to protect their eyes from desert sandstorms - their nostrils can also seal shut completely.
Their wide, flat feet act like natural snowshoes for sand - spreading their weight so they don't sink into the desert floor as they walk.
Camels can survive body temperature swings that would kill most other mammals, ranging from 34°C in the morning to 41°C in the afternoon without any ill effects.
