1. An animal that lives in the desert is the camel. People kept camels as pets many thousands of years ago. Camels usually live in small groups of up to thirty animals. Camels have long, shaggy winter coats to keep warm, and shorter, tidier coats in the summer to keep cool. A thirsty camel can drink as much as thirty gallons of water, about five hundred full glasses, in just ten minutes.
2. There are two different types of camels. One, known as the Dromedary, has only a single hump; the other is called a Bactrian camel and has two humps. The humps help the animal to survive in the desert by acting as storage containers.
