How do camels survive without water for extended periods?

Camels are well adapted to survive in desert environments with limited water sources. While they do not store water in their humps, they can store fat, which can be converted into both energy and water when needed. Camels have specialized kidneys that allow them to retain water efficiently, producing concentrated urine and dry feces to minimize water loss. They can also drink large quantities of water when available, quickly replenishing their reserves after long periods without access to water.
