What's Inside A Camel Hump?

A camel's hump doesn't contain water or bone… it’s fat. And each hump can store up to 36 kilograms of it that can sustain the camel for weeks or even months without food. The fat is incredibly nutritious and people are even starting to use it in cooking for its health benefits. But the camel didn't actually get its hump in the desert. In fact, Camels originated in the Canadian Arctic millions of years ago. And they used their fatty humps to survive long winters.

What's Inside A Camel Hump?

According to the thumbnail camels store cheese in their humps.

I'm not impressed. All my fat goes to one spot in my body also...my belly.

[Jay-euuc]

Did the camels adapt those eyes during the ice age as well?

[hellokitty_girl]

Camels don’t need to go on diets because all their fat goes in one spot

[omprakashchoudhary]

The man on the mobile sounds like a guy who would say that his small step is a giant leap for the mankind

Camels are outstanding in their efficiency; they can do the most labour with limited energy.

قال تعالى : (أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ {17}

[truthseeker]

Allah Said in Quran, "Do they not look at the Camels; how they are made?..."
" (Al-Ghashiya - The Overwhelming)

[safi]

Allah says,

أَفَلاَ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ
(Do they not look at the camels, how they are created)

After reading this ayat I came to know how beautifully Allah created camels.

[The]

The fact that they go from arctic to dessert is so damn awesome!

[abdulwaris]

"افلا ينظرون الى الابل كيف خلقت"

[aboosama]

"Do they not ever reflect on camels—how they were ˹masterfully˺ created " Quran 88:17

[mtraa.]

Can you also imagine that camels lips and stomach can digest spiked cactus without getting hurt

[nowonmetube]

4:07 The animated faces with those weird eyes crack me up 🤣

[NoNo-xhru]

"Camels used to live in the arctic"
That's pretty




*cool*
Edit: kill me

[elijahmoreno]

And wtf is that vioce comeing from some 50 year old tape.

[cancerspacexdragon]

Camels: I'm one of the best adapters in the animal kingdom.
Tardigrades: Am I a joke to you?

[ChrissehCat]

As a child, I used to think there were literal pockets of fresh water in those humps you could just like, cut open or stick a spigot in the humps and drink from if you were thirsty in the desert. I was so disappointed when I found out it was just fat.

[anastasiakupid]

Wow! That's amazing. I've heard about camels' fossils found in the northern parts of our planet before, but I could never think that they store fat in the humps.
