Explanation Writing - Camels

How have camels adapted to their environment?

Are you aware that camels are special creatures which they adapted to their environment and can survive without 30 days of water in the desert. Did you know that camels can drink 46L in 1 session?.

Deserts are very dry and hot. There is little vegetation and almost no water. This could be the main reason why there are no trees and plants to drink enough water.The sand that covers the ground can absorb the heat and becomes extremely hot during the days. strong winds can cause quickly and is known the sand storm This is very dangerous because it can blind you.

When the sandy storm has meant over time camels have adapted by growing 2 sets of eyelashes and nostrils can close and protect during in the sand storms.Camels have thick lips to protect their mouths From the sharp thorns on the cactus plant. Cactus plants have source of hydration for these animals as they contain water.

Water is very rare in the desert. Camels get water from the cactus plant which is why they have thick lips as this helps them to avoid sharp thorns that get in their way. Food and water is not easy to find in desert conditions so camels have a hump that stores fat. This fat is later used for energy and hydration when the camel is tired and thirsty.

A desert is a hard place to survive in so over time camels have adapted to this environment.

This week for writing i have been learning about how camels can adapted to their environment. What I had to do for this activity is making a copy of the camel explanation and putting powerful words and facts into my camel explanation did you know that camels can drink up to 46L. I have enjoyed working in this DLO because it shows all about camels.
