Contrary to legend, camels do not store water in their humps..

It is common knowledge that camels can survive for many days in the hot desert without access to water. Most of us, when looking at camels in the zoo, still imagine the humps to be filled with water. But what is the truth behind the myth - what secrets are hidden beneath the camel's skin?

do not store water in their humps, which actually consist of large fat deposits. If a camel uses the fat inside the hump, the hump will become limp and droop down. Fat mainly used for energy purpose as the animal can survive long without food & water.

So, what is the role of the camel's hump? Unfortunately the answer is relatively dull - it appears that the humps are merely food reserves, and the fat contained within is degraded and used for nutrition when food is scarce.

Then how exactly do camels get water? When dehydrated camels are offered water, they drink and they drink a lot. But they just drink enough to restore the normal water content of their bodies. In other words, they do not store water for future needs.

How do camels cope without water? Camels endure long periods without water for two reasons.

First, they have an exceptional ability to minimize their water losses. They produce an exceptionally sparse and concentrated urine, as well as very dry droppings. They minimize water losses in their exhalant air by using their noses as effective water exchangers.

Secondly, camels have an extraordinary ability to tolerate water loss, dehydration. They may lose 30-40 per cent of their body weight as water, while still walking in the desert sun.
