Fun Facts About Camels
Humps
Camels are born without humps, but they develop over time as the fat in their humps grows. Dromedary camels have one hump.
Meat
Camel meat is considered a delicacy in many Middle Eastern countries, and the hump is traditionally served at Arab weddings. Some say camel meat tastes similar to beef.
Water storage
Camels can drink up to 40 gallons of water at once and store it in their blood, allowing them to survive without water for weeks.
Milk
Camel milk is high in protein, vitamins, and minerals, and it contains more iron, vitamin C, and unsaturated fatty acids than cow’s milk. It’s also lower in lactose, making it easier to digest for people who are lactose intolerant.
