Have you ever wondered how camels survive in the scorching desert? Well, they can survive because of some unique traits. Camels have long legs that help them walk across the desert sand easily. Their bodies store fat in humps, which they use as a source of energy when food and water are scarce. They also have thick fur to protect them from the hot sun and sand. Plus, they can close their nostrils to avoid getting sand in their noses during storms. Their long eyelashes and ear hairs also help keep sand out of their—well, eyes and ears!
