Camel Facts

Camels are unique-looking creatures that are easily recognized because of their humps. They live in the desert areas of Africa and Asia.

There are 2 types of camel: Dromedary, which has one hump, and Bactrian, which has two humps. Both types can be domesticated.

Wild Bactrian camel is on the edge of extinction because domesticated variety eats all their food.

They can reach up to 7 feet in height to th etop of their humo and weigh approx. 1500 ins. They can also run up to 40mph.

They are specially adapted to the life in desert. Their eyes have three eyelids and two rows of eyelashes that prevent sand to enter their eyes and they have furry ears to keep the sand and dust out. Their nostrils prevent the sand from entering by closing in between two breaths.

A camel can move easily across the sand because of its specially designed feet. each foot consists of two toes that spread when they touche the ground and prevents them sinking in the sand.

A camel can survive without food and water long period of time. Most mammals would die if they lose 15% of their water (critical loss of water is called dehydration), but camel can lose of 20-25% water without becoming dehydrated. They can drink up to 40 gallons at one time.

When they are provoked, they spit a greenish substance from their stomach and also they can use all four legs to kick their opponent in self defense.
