Question

Which body part of camel shrinks and retains its size depending on consumption of food ?

• A. Rough tongue
• B. Long eyelashes
• C. Hump
• D. Neck

Answer 1

The correct option is C Hump

Camels do not directly store water in their humps; they are reservoirs of fatty tissue. This fat tissue acts as an insulator to survive on hot climates. Camels can go up to seven months in the desert without drinking water. As a camel goes without food, its hump begins to shrink. If it stays hungry long enough, its hump will disappear.

So the correct answer is 'Hump'.
