Question

About how many water does a camel's hump hold.

Answer 1

Answer: A typical camel can drink 200 liters (53 gallons) of water in three minutes. But Camels do not store water in their humps, as it is commonly believed. The humps are actually reservoirs of fatty tissue. Concentrating body fat in their humps minimizes heat-trapping insulation throughout the rest of their body, which may be an adaptation to living in hot climates.
