The camel can go without water for a long time.Some people think it stores water in its hump. This is not true.It stores food in its hump.The camel's body changes the food into fat,then it stores the fat in its hump.It can't store the fat all over its body.Fat all over an animal's body keeps the animal warm.Camels live in the desert,they do not want to be warm during the day.
The desert is very hot.The camel gets hotter and hotter during the day.It stores this heat in its body because the nights are a little cool.
The Arabian camel has one hump.The Bactrian camel of Central Asia has two humps.It also has a long ,thick hair because the winters are cold in Central Asia.
骆驼可以长时间不喝水。一些人认为骆驼把水分储存在它的驼峰里，其实不是的。它把食物储存在驼峰里。骆驼能够把食物转化为脂肪，然后它就把脂肪储存在驼峰里。它不能储存所有身体里的脂肪。它体内的脂肪可以保持它的体温。骆驼生活在沙漠中，他们在白天不需要太温暖。沙漠气候炎热。骆驼在白天会越来越热。它把热量贮存在体内，因为晚上还是有点冷的。
阿拉伯骆驼有一个驼峰。中亚双峰驼有两个驼峰。它还有很长的，浓密的头发，因为中亚的冬天寒冷。
