Camels have several adaptations that allow them to survive in hot desert environments. Their thick fur, eyelashes, and ability to close their nostrils protect them from blowing sand and sun exposure. Their humps store fat to use as energy, and their thick legs and padded feet help them walk on hot sand without sinking.
