Camel

A camel is a very big animal that is often found in places with hot, sandy deserts like the Sahara in Africa or the Gobi in Asia. They have a big hump on their back which helps them store fat that they can use for energy when there is not a lot of food around.

Camels have long skinny legs that help them move easily on the sand and they can close their nostrils to protect them from sandstorms. They have a very special feature called "eyelashes" that keep the sand away from their eyes.

Camels can go for a very long time without water, sometimes more than a week, because they can store lots of water in their body. When they do drink water, they can drink a lot of it, up to 30 gallons in one go.

People who live in desert areas often use camels as a way of transportation because they are strong and can carry heavy loads. Camels are also considered to be a symbol of wealth and status because they are so important in the desert areas.
