The camel drinks both fresh and salt water. It can even drink water from the Dead Sea and nothing will happen to it. This is because the camel's kidneys filter the water: they separate it from the salt and turn it into fresh water suitable for drinking. The camel also eats thorns and they do not harm its stomach or intestines because its saliva dissolves the thorns like acid. The camel has two eyelids: one is thin and transparent, the other thick and fleshy. When a sandstorm starts in the desert, it closes its transparent eyelid to prevent sand from getting into its eyes. A camel can also change its body temperature: if it is cold its temperature increases, if it is hot in the hot desert its body temperature decreases. The qualities that this beautiful little animal possesses are impressive. #wfwizzy190
