How camels are adapted to their environment?

Prince Ali of Persia became lost in the desert. Horses were sent to
rescue him and Mufeed the camel went along to help. The horses'
hooves became hot but the thick, leathery pads on Mufeed's feet
allowed him to walk on the burning sand. During a sand storm,
Mufeed closed his large nostrils and his long eyelashes protected his
eyes. The horses' hooves slipped but Mufeed's feet were flat and
wide to help him walk across the sand. The fat store in Mufeed's
hump prevented him from starving and becoming dehydrated. As he
was better suited to the desert than the horses, Mufeed rescued the
Prince and took him home.
