Question

Which is not a physical feature of a camel to survive in the desert?

• A. Large nostrils
• B. Long legs
• C. Long eyelashes
• D. Thick lips

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Large nostrils

Camels have long legs with large feet. The foot has a pad like sole which facilitates walking on slippery sand and does not sink into it. The hump of the camel is full of fat which serves as reserved food. The eyes of the camel have long eyelashes which protect its eyes from the harsh sun rays and sandstorms. The nostrils of the camels are closed so sand cannot enter inside. They also have thick lips which enable them to eat cacti.
