Dromedary camels have been domesticated for so long that we may never know how wide their original habitats were. Camels’ bodies are perfect for long desert travel: their broad feet make walking on sand easier; their long eyelashes protect their eyes from sand; and their nostrils close to keep sand out. The hump on their backs is actually deposits of fat—stored energy for when the next oasis is miles away. Camels can survive without water for really long periods of time and can lose over forty percent of their body weight in water. (Most animals can only safely lose twenty percent.) Camels can also drink salty water and have been known to drink one third of their body weight in ten minutes. Cody is 3.7” tall x 1.4” wide x 4.6” and Carly is 3.3” tall x 1.2” wide x 3.9” long. Lucky for them, camels are useful and are so considered “common” rather than endangered. Code and Carly therefore come in unlimited editions. Noah's Pals are lovingly sculpted and beautifully handpainted animal figures. It's a fun and educational collection that’s perfect for both children and adults. Launch Date: January 1, 2007.
