Ying: Animal adaptation for a specific environment

Dromedary Camel (Camelus dromedarius)
[42.064723,-71.586695]

The Dromedary Camel is well-equipped for desert life. Its coloration camouflages it in its natural environment. Its thick lips can withstand eating thorny desert plants. Its long eye-lashes protect its eyes from sand in the wind. Its calloused knees and body can handle the feel of hot sand. Its single hump can even store a reserve a fat for survival.
