How do camels survive so long in desert environments?

Camels are adapted to desert life with features such as broad feet, insulating fur, and the ability to regulate body temperature. They do not store water in their humps; instead, the humps store fat, which can be used for energy. Their red blood cells are unusually oval-shaped, helping them keep functioning during dehydration. Camels can drink large amounts of water quickly when available, sometimes over 100 litres in one session. These adaptations make them exceptionally well suited to arid regions of Africa and Asia.
