Life in the desert…
A number of adaptations enable the dromedary to withstand extreme heat: its body temperature can go up to 41°C, its red blood cells are oval instead of round… Its hump holds a fat reserve to help it cope with a lack of food and/or water, and it can drink up to 100 litres of water in 10 minutes!
Dromedaries make it possible for Man to live in arid regions, as they provide meat, milk, skins, wool, manure… And transport, of course!
