camel

camel do not pant, and they perspire very little. Humans start to sweat when the outside temperature rises above the normal body temperature of 37?C, but the camel has a unique body thermostat. It can raise its body temperature tolerance level as much as 6?C before perspiring, thereby conserving body fluids and avoiding unnecessary water loss. No other mammal can do this. Because the camel’s body temperature is often lower than air temperature, a group of resting camels will even avoid excessive heat by pressing against each other.
