Hi Reader!
This week, I discovered a note to myself with a question about camels. Are their humps actually filled with water? A little investigation revealed this common belief is a myth! Plus, I discovered surprising differences between one-humped and two-humped camels. Not all camels live in the desert!

Every day is (camel) hump day!
Camel humps definitely look cool. But why do they need them, and what are they even made of?

Dromedary Camels vs Bactrian Camels
Not all camels live in the desert. Dromedary camels are mostly found in hot, arid deserts in Africa, India, and the Middle East, aside from a small feral population in Australia. But Bactrian camels live in the cold desert regions of the Middle East, Mongolia, and China. They can withstand temperatures below -20º F and even eat snow to hydrate!
