TIL camel urine comes out as a thick syrup
and they can drink a third of their bodyweight in water in 3 minutes
and their blood cells are oval, not round, so they move better when dehydrated
and you can breed them with llamas to get "camas"

camels are fucking insane their bodies are basically entirely optimized to handle temperature extremes which is insane for mammals i am deeply impressed

camels in the deserts, camels in the steppes. camels in the lowlands, camels on the peaks; but never any camels on a beach.
