​CAMELS
​There are two main types of camel:
     -   The Dromedary Camel (one hump)
     -   The Bactrian Camel (two humps)

• Their milk is much better than cow's milk as it is lower in fat and sugar and higher in iron and vitamins.
• Have wide, flat, leathery pads with two toes on each foot.
• When it places its foot on the ground, the pads spread so that it stops the foot from sinking into the sand.
• Does not store water in its hump.
• The hump is a mound of fatty tissue from which the camel gets its energy when food is scarce.
• Can last 17 days without drinking.
• Drink over 100 litres of water at once.
• It takes 10 seconds to drink 30 gallons of water.
• The  thick coat reflects the sunlight.
• Spit.
• Can live to the age of 50.
• The milk does not curdle.
• Are born without humps.
• The most feral camels are found in Australia.
• Camel urine is as thick as syrup.
• Can open and close their nostrils.
