CAMEL
The camel has many adaptive traits for their life in the desert. They have long eyelashes and thin, slit nostrils that they can close to protect them from blowing sand. They are adapted to survive a long time without water and food. Camels are perfectly adapted to living in this extremely changeable environment. Their most noticeable way of living in these challenging conditions is the two humps on their back. In these humps camels store fat. When food is scarce across the desert camels use the fat in their humps to provide vital nutrients. Camels are well at survival in the desert. Their adaptations include: large, flat feet to spread their weight on the sand. thick fur on the top of the body for shade, and thin fur elsewhere to allow easy heat loss.
hi georgia, I like your research project on camels. I think they are very cool. Maybe next time you could add a photo of a camel to make it more interesting.
