How has the camel adapted to survive in the dessert? - Coggle Diagram

- - - - They aren’t actually spitting, it’s more like throwing up. They bring up the contents of their stomach, along with some saliva, and spit it out into a sticky liquid. This is done to surprise, distract, or bother whatever the camel is targeting and you can tell if a camel is about to spit because its cheeks fill up and grows fatter to contain the spit.
  - - - Camels usually have at least one hump on their back and the humps store fat and becomes an energy source for the camel. The dromedary camel has one hump and the Bactrian camel has two which means that the number of humps vary by the specie of the camel. Dromedary camels are domesticated camels. But they still spit when perturbed. The amount of time a camel can live on with the stored energy in their hump depend on climate and the animal’s activity levels. The size of the hump can change, depending on the amount of food the camel eats. When food is unavalible, the camel’s body uses the fat stored in the hump, causing the hump to lean over and droop. A camel can go a week or more without water, and it can last for several months without food.
