Camels have an ambling gait, simultaneously bringing up both legs on the same side. Dromedary camels are perfectly adapted for desert life. However, this is at the expense of great weight loss and strength. When water becomes available, the camel can consume as much as 30 gals., restoring the normal body fluid levels. Does NOT store water in the hump or stomach.
