Question: where is the water stored in a camel

title: Camel
text: Camels do not directly store water in their humps as was once commonly believed . The humps are actually reservoirs of fatty tissue : concentrating body fat in their humps minimizes the insulating effect fat would have if distributed over the rest of their bodies , helping camels survive in hot climates . In hot and dry environments , within 8 to 10 days only the dromedary camels might consume water which during this period the third of their body 's weight may be reduced due to the dehydration ( Breulmann , et al. , 2007 ) . When this tissue is metabolized , it yields more than one gram of water for every gram of fat processed . This fat metabolization , while releasing energy , causes water to evaporate from the lungs during respiration ( as oxygen is required for the metabolic process ) : overall , there is a net decrease in water .

Answer: answer: Camels do not directly store water in their humps.  The humps are actually reservoirs of fatty tissue: when this tissue is metabolized, it yields more than one gram of water for every gram of fat processed.
