Camel has hump on its back which are actually reservoirs of fatty tissue, storing body fat in their humps (Camels actually do not store water in their humps). When food become scarce on the deserts where camels roam, the fatty humps serve as stored food and are used for nourishment.
Camels have a series of physiological adaptations that allow them to withstand long periods of time without any external source of water. Unlike other mammals, their red blood cells are oval rather than circular in shape. This facilitates the flow of red blood cells during dehydration and also makes them better at withstanding high osmotic variation variation without rupturing when camel drinks large amounts of water. So they easily survive when water is not available in deserts.
