Balaparya: Animal adaptation

The Bactrian Camel (camelus bactrianus) has adapted to its desert environment by developing  two humps on its back. These humps store water for the desert so that the camel does not need to drink water for a long period of time. Found at   42.065518,-71.585748
The Dromedary Camel (Camelus dromedarius) has adapted to its environment by developing a hump on its back. Due to the fact that there is very little water in deserts, the hump can store water for a very long time.
