My dad went to
Saudi Arabia last week for a business trip and when he returned home, he showed us pictures that he took in the magical desert. One particular photo that I love is his picture with a dozen cream and brown camels for a background. I'm really curious about these fantastic beasts because they can live and stay in a place without enough source of water and the climate is terribly high. Dromedary camels with the scientific name Camelius dromedarius is the only animal I know that can live for half a month without drinking water.
Most of these beasts are found in arid lands of Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Eqypt. A
quick Internet search told me that ninety percent of the planet's camels are dromedaries. But how can they live in a desert without sufficient food and water? My dad told me that the hump of the animals stores fat where they get sustenance because oxidation of the fat creates water. The hump can store thirty gallons of water at a time. These animals also serve as a means for transportation because they have webbed feet that do not sink in the sand and their eyelashes are doubled to prevent the sand from entering their eyes.
