How many days can a one humped camel last without water?

One-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) are well-adapted to desert environments and can go for extended periods without water. On average, a one-humped camel can survive without water for 3 to 4 days. However, they are capable of conserving water and surviving for even longer, potentially stretching their water reserves for about 2 weeks if necessary. Factors like body condition, the quality of their diet, overall health, and the ambient temperature will influence their water requirements and longevity without it. Additionally, camels tend to store fat in their humps and metabolize these fat reserves in order to stay nourished and minimize reliance on drinking water.
