How do camels survive in the desert without water for long periods?

Camels are uniquely adapted to desert life, where water is scarce. They can go for several days without drinking water by efficiently conserving it within their bodies. Camels store fat in their humps, which is used for energy and can be converted into water when metabolized. Their kidneys are highly efficient at minimizing water loss by producing concentrated urine and dry feces. Additionally, camels have specialized nasal passages that help minimize water loss through respiration, and their thick fur provides insulation from the heat.
