How do camels tolerate extreme heat?
- ๐๏ธ 9
Camels are specially adapted to survive in the extreme heat of deserts. They have several physical and physiological traits that help them conserve water and regulate body temperature. Their thick fur protects them from the harsh sun, while also preventing them from losing too much body heat. Camels can also drink large quantities of water in one sitting, and their bodies store it efficiently. Additionally, their kidneys are highly effective at conserving water, and they produce dry feces and concentrated urine to minimize fluid loss.
