Camel

Camels are recognizable creatures with humps on their backs and the capacity to thrive in Africa and the Middle East's harsh desert environments. The dromedary (one hump), Bactrian (two humps), and Wild Bactrian are the three species that exist today (also two humps). Camels have been tamed for a long time and are an important mode of transportation in the desert. Camels have adapted to the scorching climate in a variety of ways, including being able to go for days without water. They do this by storing fatty tissue in their humps that can be converted into water.

Camels are also animals with multiple stomachs. Camels have three stomachs, similar to alpacas and llamas. These chambers help them to absorb as much nutrition as possible from the limited resources available to them. Camels have three stomachs, much like the other camelids (alpacas and llamas). These chambers help them to absorb as many nutrients as possible from the limited and unhealthy diet they consume.
