1. Camel's hump is actually an "incubator" that helps keep baby camels warm while they're being born.
2. Camels have long tails that help them balance while they're walking (they can't see where they're going).
3. Camels have very soft feet, which makes them good at balancing on sand dunes and rocky terrain--which is why they were used to transport goods across the desert for thousands of years before cars were invented!
4. Camels are able to eat thorny plants without getting hurt because their mouths are lined with a special substance called "gum," which protects them from thorns and other sharp objects in their environment (like rocks).
5. Camels are the only mammals to have four stomachs.
6. Camels can go without water for up to a month at a time, but they don't drink water while they're doing it. Instead, they use their urine as a source of hydration instead of drinking it directly from their bodies.
7. The average camel is about 2 feet tall at the shoulder, but some can reach up to 3 feet tall!

8. Camels have no teeth; instead, they grind up food with their cheek teeth until it's ground into paste (which helps them digest food). They then swallow this paste whole--no chewing involved!
9. Camels can't produce milk, but they can produce a substance called "milk of Paradise," which is a byproduct of the camels' diet. This substance has been used as an aphrodisiac and in cosmetics.
10. Camels are able to drink salt water without getting sick because they have special glands that absorb the salt so they can excrete it again later when they need it to survive on land.
11. Camels are able to digest food very quickly because of their stomachs' ability to break down food into smaller molecules so it can be absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream for use in other parts of the body (i.e., muscles).
-Camel meat is the most popular meat in the Middle East, where it's eaten as a main course or grilled over a fire.
-The average camel can drink up to 20 gallons of water per day--that's about 5 gallons for every pound of body weight!
-Camel milk has been used as a remedy for everything from sore throats to diarrhea, but it isn't recommended for anyone with a weak immune system.
Camel facts, you want to know them?
The camel is a large mammal that lives in desert areas of Africa. They are related to the llama and alpaca. The male camel has a long neck and a long nose that it uses to smell out food. The female camel has two humps on her back which she can use as a seat when she carries her young ones.
Camel's hair has a lot of oil in it so they can stay cool during hot weather. They also have very strong legs which allow them to travel long distances without eating much food at all!
