What's Inside A Camel's Hump? | BYJU'S Fun Facts

Показать описание

You must have heard of this popular myth - that camels can store water in their humps to survive the desert. But do camels actually have water in their humps? Is there any truth to this myth? Well, camels can definitely last for weeks in a desert without drinking any water and months without any food. They may even lose nearly half of their body weight during this period. But, this rarely has much to do with their humps storing water. Camels actually store fat in their humps and not water. Their ability to glide across deserts with very little food and water has even earned them the nickname - The ship of the desert. So how can camels survive for so long without any water? Where do they actually store water for survival in hot and arid regions? What adaptations have they undergone to prevent dehydration in the desert? What purpose does storing fats in their humps actually serve? Watch the video to find answers to your questions.

Do you know about any other interesting adaptations undergone by animals or plants to survive and thrive in extreme conditions? Let us know in the comments.

What 's inside a camel 's hump is fat, and a lot of people think it 's water. But it 's certainly not; it 's fat, and it nourishes them when they ' re on long journeys. That 's right, fat. Each hump can store up to 36 kilograms of it, which can sustain the camel for weeks or even months without food. And that sort of adaptation was especially important 3.5 million years ago, during the middle of an ice age, when the ancestors to modern camels were hanging out in the arctic tundra.
