Camels don't Store Water in Their Humps.

Camels don't store water in their humps; they store fat. Fat works much better than water in the desert, because it provides camels with the energy they need to keep up their metabolism and keep moving. Remember that food is also short in the desert.

Some of you are saying, "Well, duh, they store water in the fat!" and it's true that when camels metabolize all that fat in their humps, they actually yield some water. But the yielded water is lost in the body, and the camel never gets to use it for nourishment.
