Natale: Animal Adaptation for a Specific Environment

This is a Raja erinacea found at 42°21'33.53" -71°02'56.42".  Its sandy and dark brown colors and spots make it easy to blend in with the sandy bottom of the ocean, where it spends most of its time.
This is a Camelus bactrianus found at 42°03'53.02" -71°34'51.59".  Its two large humps that store extra fat that give them energy during times when food is hard to find, which is common in the desert, their main habitat.
