Ad lib redirects here. For other uses, see Ad lib (disambiguation). Ad libitum (/Ã¦dËlÉªbáµ»tÉm/) is Latin for at one's pleasure; it is often shortened to ad lib (as an adjective or adverb) or ad-lib (as a verb or noun).
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.
Camels are able to withstand changes in body temperature and water content that would kill most other animals. Their temperature ranges from 34Â°C (93Â°F) at night up to 41Â°C (106Â°F) at day; only above this threshold will they start to sweat. This allows them to preserve about five litres of water a day.
