Detailed explanation-1: -Desert sand can be scorching, so camels have leathery, heat-resistant pads on their feet, knees, elbows and sternum so they can lie down without getting burnt. They also lack a stifle fold. In other animals, this is the skin that stretches from the abdomen to the thighs.
Detailed explanation-2: -They can close their nostrils to keep sand out and also have long eyelashes to prevent sand entering their eyes. Why does a camel have a hump? A camel stores fat in its hump, which helps it to survive without food for a long time.
Detailed explanation-3: -A camel has a hump where fat is stored, which enables a camel to survive food scarcity. A camel can drink a lot of water at a time and then survive for a long time without water. A camel does not sweat, excretes little water as urine and passes very dry dung to help minimize the wastage of water.
