The habitat of wild camels is extremely harsh. A nearly lifeless land, its temperature may reach 60 - 70 deg C (140 - 160 deg F) in summer and -30 deg C (-22 deg F) in winter. To protect against these extreme conditions, the camel's long, narrow nostrils and dense eyelashes efficiently prevent damage from sandstorms. The slitlike nostrils can be closed to keep out dust and sand. It sweats and urinates little, thus prolonging resistance to thirst. Under the soles of its feet a horny layer enables it to walk on broken, stony ground and hot, sandy ground with ease. ====== 35 - 40 years [] Approved topic (for now): toad!
