A mother camel answers her baby camel's questions about their adaptations for living in the desert. The baby camel asks about their humps, long legs, and eyelashes. The mother explains that camels have humps to store water, long legs to walk easily through sand, and long eyelashes to protect their eyes from sand and wind. However, the baby camel realizes these adaptations do not help much in the zoo, where they currently live.
