how does a camel survive in the North Pole?

Answer 1

Probably doesn't. If it doesn't freeze to death it would be mauled by a polar bear. LOL that would be cool LOL just kidding, but seriously imagine that.

Answer 2

Well, atleast Polar Bears wouldn't be a problem, as Polar Bears don't live on the permanent sea ice, as that is not where they can go to hunt.
If you actually mean the North Pole, and not the arctic circle, I will say it is nearly hopeless of the poor animal.
However, a little further south, with a blanket, or maybe if it manages to develop a thicker coat, it may somehow manage to survive if it somehow manages to find a place where it can find food to eat.

Polar Bears can (doesn't mean it always will, as, this can quite simply meam after a very hard workout, such as killing and then pulling onto land a trapped Beluga Whale; not an easy feat) overheat even in sub-freezing temperatures, and, they live further south then the actual North Pole, as they only venture onto the temporary sea ice, or places where it isn't quite as thick.
And, considering they are this well insulated (also, note that not only do they most likely have more fat spread out throughout their body, although, maybe not particularly much fat, as Polar Bear's aren't what I would consider "fat animals", they don't have their fat concentrated into a hump like that of the Camel's, their hair, being hollow and clear, is designed to capture a specific type of radtion given off by the sun, and transfer it to the skin, and transform it into heat energy, meaning that the Bear's fur does more then simply be a blanket to help insulation), and a camel is not, I would have to say it is nearly hopeless for these animals to actually manage to survive naturally, though, if they where given a couple of centuries to adapt while slowly moving North during them, and with enough food sources, it would be possible, however, as I said, it would take a couple centuries, and would have to involve Human aid, or, pressure moreso, to force them to continue to move North. A large population would also be nessessary, due to the fact that many would die, as survival of the fittest would press down extreemly heavy pressures, as this would cause it to go much faster (as, if sexual selection is used, instead of simply dieing if they can't stand the cold, this will vastly increase the nessesary time).

Answer 3

How does a camel get to the North Pole in the first place? First of all, if a camel makes it to the North Pole by itself, then I must say that a miracle has occured. If a human brought it to the North Pole then the human should take care of it. If there is no one to take care of the camel, it cannot survive. The End.

Answer 4

Typical desert night time temperatures could be comparable to Arctic daytime temperatures. (You will have to check this yourself, because I am lazy, but give me 10 pts anyway, please?) In which case a camel could survive given a warm place to shelter during the night and suitable food.

I think camel fossils have been found in the La Brae tar pits near Los Angeles, having come over presumably across the Bering (sp?) land bridge during one of the Ices Ages. However that is not to say that the camel species that cross were identical or comparable to the two species of camel in currently in existence (dromedaries and bactrain) which surely have evolved unique adaptations for their current environments.

Answer 5

Either he heads south or die. He isn't any better suited to live at the north pole than a polar bear can survive in the Sahara.

Answer 6

They don't!
Since when have you heard about, or seen a camel at the north pole! That's utterly RIDICULOUS!

Answer 7

who would be stupid enough to take a camel to the north pole?

Answer 8

In the winter time, the camel moves to warmer countries located in Africa.

Answer 9

Slice the belly of its bigger camel companion and then crawl inside for warmth.

Answer 10

He huddles up with the penguins to keep warm and he makes them do his bidding - like getting him food and keeping him groomed. After all, he could surely beat the small penguins down if he needed to, and they know it.
