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.my crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484071987163894248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9898701.post-89543579260421111502008-03-02T18:53:00.000-06:002008-03-02T18:53:00.000-06:00too funny! i hadn't looked at it like that...i am ...too funny! i hadn't looked at it like that...i am way too predictable!cfenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333589512760709549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9898701.post-53421883827297542922008-02-15T23:38:00.000-06:002008-02-15T23:38:00.000-06:00Good to see you back.You know the camels are nearl...Good to see you back.<BR/>You know the camels are nearly rust!!!<BR/>NoraNora and James McDowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122226614873576802noreply@blogger.com
