00:00Hey there, animal lovers!
00:02Welcome back to another amazing episode from Simply Awesome Planet.
00:06Today, I'm diving into the world of one of the most fascinating creatures on the planet,
00:12the camel.
00:13Ever wondered just how much water a camel can hold?
00:17Spoiler alert, it's mind-blowing!
00:20First off, camels are known as the ships of the desert, and for a good reason.
00:25These incredible animals can drink up to 40 gallons of water in one go.
00:30Yup, you heard that right, 40 gallons!
00:34That's like chugging over 150 liters of water.
00:37Imagine trying to do that!
00:40But how do they manage to hold all that water?
00:42Well, camels have a unique physiological adaptation.
00:47Their red blood cells are oval-shaped, which allows them to flow more easily when water
00:52is scarce, and helps them endure long periods without hydration.
00:57It's like having a built-in survival kit.
01:00And get this, camels can go up to two weeks without water.
01:04That's like us humans going without water for over 14 days.
01:09They can lose up to 25% of their body weight through sweating and still survive.
01:14Talk about resilience!
01:16Now here's another amazing fact.
01:18Camels have a way of conserving water that's pretty gross but super cool.
01:23They can reabsorb water from their urine to use for hydration.
01:27Yup, their bodies are that efficient.
01:30And let's not forget their humps.
01:32Contrary to popular belief, humps don't store water.
01:36They store fat, which camels can convert into food and water when resources are low.
01:42Think of it as their personal pantry on their backs.
01:44Oh, and did you know camels have a third eyelid?
01:48This transparent eyelid protects their eyes from sand and dust during desert storms.
01:53Plus, their long eyelashes act like natural sunglasses, shielding their eyes from the
01:58harsh sun.
02:00And here's a fun tidbit.
02:02Camels can close their nostrils to keep out sand.
02:06It's like having a built-in air filter.
02:08So next time you're thinking about animals that can survive in extreme conditions, remember
02:13the camel.
02:14They're not just cool, they're downright amazing.
02:18Alright folks, that's all for today.
