Arabian camels aren't known for their kissable lips. Their
large, leathery mouths can handle the prickly thorns of almost any kind of
desert vegetation, including that which other animals steer clear of.
Of course, even so, deserts can be, well, like deserts. Yet
just as a camel can survive for weeks without water, it can go weeks without
food.
The animals make sure they get the most from their
infrequent meals by digesting their food several times in their stomach's three
chambers. They also help quench their thirst by absorbing moisture from the
plants they eat.
Finally, guess what
they store in those humps?
