How to Classify a Camel
Its distinctive hump makes a camel easy to recognize. Evolving to survive in arid desert conditions, the camel can travel great distances without drinking because its body temperature fluctuates between 93 and 107 degrees Fahrenheit. This fluctuation allows the camel to retain moisture by not sweating. Camels can grow up to 7 feet tall and can weigh more than 1,500 pounds; they have wooly coats caramel brown in color and feed on any type of vegetation they can find. Scientifically classifying a camel is quite easy.
