Camels protect themselves from predators by regurgitating their stomach contents mixed with saliva in a projectile fashion. This practice is commonly referred to as spitting. According to the San Diego Zoo, when camels spit, it is meant to startle and distract potential predators.
Even though camels can plod through the desert for days with very little water, itâs a myth that they store water in their humps and stomach. Unlike most mammals, a camel does not have layers of fat under its skin. A camelâs fat is accumulated in its hump. When food and water are scarce the camel uses its stored fat in the hump for energy. The hump also serves as a water source, obtained by extracting water chemically from fat reserves.
