1) Do camels store water in their humps?

2) When a beaver fells a tree, does the tree fall toward the water?

3) If a man stood over a hole in the ground and dropped in a $20.00 bill once every minute, day and night, how many years would it take him to drop into the hole a billion dollars?

1) The hump is not a water tank. It's made up of fat cells. The fat cells nourishes the camel when there is no food or water available. A camel can go 3 to 4 months without drinking. Instead, it digests the fat in the hump. The fat contains liquid.
2) Beavers knaw down trees, but they can't tell in which direction they will fall. In many cases, beavers are killed by the trees they cut down.
3) Custo Dian you hit it on the mark!!!!!!!

1) Camels do NOT store water in their humps, it is stored in their stomachs, about a gallon and a half worth.
The secret to their longevity of going a long time without drinking much water is that in their kidneys, they have extra long Loops of Henle, which reduce the amount of water emptied out while peeing.

2) I suppose that a beaver would try and cut a tree down so that it lands toward the water to make less work of dragging the wood around.

3) As kind of a wild guess, 95 years. It would be confusing to explain how I got that.
