==Camels can tolerate a significant increase in body temperature before they start sweating==, allowing them to conserve water in hot desert environments, and this temperature can reach around 106 degrees Fahrenheit (41°C) before they begin to sweat noticeably.  

Explanation:

  • Adaptation to desert life:

    Camels have evolved to survive in arid deserts where water is scarce, so their bodies are adapted to minimize water loss through sweating by allowing their core temperature to fluctuate more than other mammals.  

  • Heat storage:

    When the desert is hot, a camel’s body temperature can rise considerably during the day, storing heat instead of sweating, and then cool down at night when the temperature drops.  

  • Thick fur insulation:

    Their thick fur also acts as insulation, helping to regulate body temperature by trapping heat when it’s cold and reflecting sunlight when it’s hot.
