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.
â¢ Camels have adapted to their environment. The secret is in its blood cells (erythrocytes), which can absorb water and expand up to 240% their original size! Camels can drink 40 gallons of water at once and store it in their blood. The humps store 80 lbs. of fat which nourishes the camel in times of scarce food.
