Did You Know? Camel humps are not full of water — they store fat! When food is scarce in the desert, camels use the energy from this fat. Their amazing bodies allow them to go up to two weeks without drinking water, and they can drink 135 liters of water in just 13 minutes when they finally do find it. Camels can also close their nostrils completely to keep out blowing sand!
