There are two different types of
camel.

Arabian camels (dromedaries) have a single
hump.

They are found in North Africa
as well as Arabia.

Bactrian camels come from the
Gobi Desert and other dry parts of
Asia.

These hairy beasts have not
one hump, but two.

A camel’s hump does not contain water, as some people think.
![Page 13: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
In fact, it is a store of fat which
the animal can live off when
food is scarce.
![Page 14: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
An Arabian camel’s hump
shrinks as the fat inside is used up in hard times.
![Page 15: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

A bactrian camel’s humps
flop over.
![Page 17: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The huge feet of camels help them to walk on sand without sinking
into it.
![Page 18: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A camel's foot can be as big as a large plate.
![Page 19: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

A camel's head has built-in sun-visors to help keep the bright sunlight out of its eyes. There are broad ridges of bone above each eye. These stick out far enough to shield the eyes when the sun is overhead. The ears of camels are small to make it harder for sand to get in them.

Desert winds often blow sand
into the air.
![Page 23: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
To protect their eyes, camels have
long eyelashes that catch most of
the sand.
![Page 24: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
If sand gets into an eye, a camel
has a third eyelid to get it out.
![Page 26: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Like a windshield wiper on a car, this extra eyelid
![Page 28: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
moves from side to side and wipes
the sand away.
![Page 29: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The eyelid is very thin, so a camel can see through it. In sandstorms, camels often close their third eyelid and keep walking. You might say that a camel can find its way through a sandstorm with its eyes closed.
![Page 30: Camels. There are two different types of camel](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051618/56649c875503460f9493e7ba/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
To keep sand from blowing into their noses, camels can shut their nostrils. When there is no sand blowing in the wind, a camel can open its nostrils (A) and breathe through its nose. When the wind starts to whip up the sand, the camel just closes its nose (B).

Camels are well known for their bad temper and unpredictable
behaviour.

They may savagely bite or kick anyone who annoys them, or

spit foul-smelling
liquid.

At night, their owners have to hobble them (tie their legs
together)

in order to stop them escaping
back to the wild.

Could you colour this dromedary
camel?
