Living in The Desert: Ammals Eading

The passage discusses how camels are able to survive in the harsh desert environment. It notes that camels have several adaptations that allow them to tolerate the high heat, lack of water, and sandy conditions of the desert. These include closing their nostrils against sand, having eyelashes to protect their eyes, wide hooves for walking, and thick insulation on their knees, toes, and chest. Camels can also eat thorny desert plants and survive off the fat stored in their hump if no food or water is available. These features make camels one of the few mammals capable of living in the desert.
