How have camels adapted to their environment?

Did you ever wonder how camels adapt to their environment? Did you know that camels can drink up to 46 liters of water which is 46 of 1 liter coke bottles. The camels also has some special features they have webbed feet so the hot sand doesn't affect them.

The camel's environment is very hot and and the water is scarce which means there is not a lot of it so the camel has to go searching for cactus. The desert is usually 42 degrees hot. The camels lips a very useful because they are doubled.

These animals have double lips that helps them break open and eat thorns and cactus and others. The thorns and cactus do not hurt them because the camels lips have two layers. The camels eyelashes a very important because it prevents it from getting blind.

The camels have two eyelashes so the sand and dust does not get blown into there eyes while they are walking. The camels nostril can open and close the reason why it dose that is so the sand doesn't fly in.

Camels can go as long as a six or seven months  without drinking water, the camels webbed feet and pads is a major thing they have because if they didn’t have that webbed feet and pads their feet would burn and would not be able to walk over the terrain.

This Week for writing we write an explanation about Camels and how they adapt to
their environment. Before we started our writing we watch 3 video clips, we also got
our books because we needed it for our planning. I enjoyed writing this week because
I learnt about Camels and how they adapt to their environment.
