Answer: camel

Explanation: camels are adapted to live in extreme environments, both hot and cold. camels adapt the conditions in following ways

1- Have long legs to keep body away from heat of sand.

2- Camels excrete significantly less urine and their dung is dry. they do not sweat. since they do not loose much water it lives many days without drinking water.

3- Hump of the camels store fat. in case of emergency camels break down the fat into energy and water requirement and nourishment. Hump help them travel along periods without water to survive in desert's harsh conditions.
