How do camels live?
- ๐๏ธ 23
Camels are large herbivorous mammals adapted to life in desert environments, primarily found in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Central Asia. They are well-suited to hot, dry climates and can go for long periods without drinking water, as they are able to conserve moisture in their bodies. Camels feed on grasses, shrubs, and dry vegetation, and their digestive systems are efficient in extracting moisture from their food. They are known for their humps, which store fat, providing them with energy during times of food scarcity. Camels are social animals, often living in groups called caravans, which provide protection and help in finding food. They reproduce sexually, with females giving birth to a single calf after a gestation period of about 13 months. The calf is nursed for several months before becoming more independent.
