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 also known for their prominent humps (either one or two humps, depending on the species), which leads many people to believe that these are used to store water for access at a later time. However, camelsâ humps actually store fatty tissue, not water, which is used as a source of nourishment when food is scarce.
