Bactrian camels
ReplyDeleteThe Bactrian camels have two humps on the top of their back. Bactrian store fat in their humps, they use the fat in their humps as energy so they can walk for long periods of time. They also use the fat stored in their humps as water so that they can survive when there is no water or food around. When there is a lot of fat in the humps they will use it to keep them cool. Other types of camels have one hump. Bactrian camels have storage in the hump to store fat but when it runs out it is soft and flabby. They can store eighty pounds of fat in their humps. They rarely sweat because of fluids in their humps. The Bactrian camels have two humps.
