The camel is a large mammal that lives in deserts and arid regions. They are known for their ability to go long periods of time without water and for their humped back which stores fat for energy. Camels are well adapted to their environment, with thick fur to protect them from the sun and sandstorms. They primarily eat grasses, grains, and desert vegetation. Camels can be seen in desert regions around the world, such as the Middle East, Africa, and parts of Asia.
