The camel is a large mammal that lives in the hot desert climates of North Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. Camels can grow up to 11 feet tall and weigh over 1,500 pounds. They have thick fur to protect them from the sun and small ears to prevent sand from entering. Camels eat tough desert plants and can go weeks without drinking water by storing water in their humps. They are well-adapted to survive in arid environments.
