How do camels regulate their body temperature in the desert?
- ๐๏ธ 5
Camels regulate their body temperature by allowing their body temperature to fluctuate throughout the day. During the heat of the day, they can tolerate higher temperatures, reducing the need for sweating. At night, when temperatures drop, camels conserve heat by retaining it in their body. They also have thick fur that protects them from the sun while keeping them warm at night. Additionally, camels’ kidneys are highly efficient at conserving water, which helps prevent dehydration in hot environments.
