CAMELS CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT WATER FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, AND WITHOUT FOOD FOR UPTO A MONTH.
Camels are well known for their humps. They do not, however, store water in them as is commonly believed, though they do serve this purpose through roundabout means. Their humps are a reservoir of fatty tissue, while water is stored in their blood. However, when this tissue is metabolised, it is not only a source of energy, but yields through reaction with oxygen from the air 1111 g of water per 1000 g of fat converted. This allows them to survive without water for about two weeks, and without food for up to a month.-

The camel might desire to in easy terms decide for greater or less 7 days max. and min. of 20 hrs. The hump on their back does carry some water yet would not play as a great number of as function in proscribing water intake. Camels save money on water in some diverse techniques. one way is that the physique temperature immediately drops at evening time and then rises slowly during the warmth of the day. The day is merely approximately over earlier the camel's physique temperature reaches tiers the place evaporative cooling, interior the style of sweating, ought to ensue. regardless of the important water-saving diversifications, the camel loses water through evaporation from lungs and dermis and interior the urine and feces.
