Do they not ever reflect on camels—how they were masterfully created
Do they not ever reflect on camels—how they were masterfully created 
Fact 1: The Blood Secret
Headline: A camel's blood cells are oval, not round, to prevent them from exploding.
Why it's amazing: Unlike the circular red blood cells of humans and most other mammals, a camel's are oval-shaped. This incredible adaptation allows their blood to keep flowing smoothly even when they are severely dehydrated. It also makes the cells resilient enough to handle rapid rehydration, so they don't burst when a camel drinks huge amounts of water very quickly.
Fact 2: The Ultimate Thirst
Headline: A thirsty camel can drink over 100 liters (30 gallons) of water in less than 10 minutes.
Why it's amazing: After going for weeks without water, a camel can replenish its body's supply in a remarkably short time. This ability is crucial for survival when they find a rare water source in the desert. For comparison, it would be like a person drinking an entire bathtub full of water in one sitting.
Fact 3: Built-in Goggles
Headline: Camels have three eyelids to protect their eyes from sand.
Why it's amazing: In addition to two rows of extra-long eyelashes to catch sand, camels have a third, transparent eyelid. It moves from side to side like a windshield wiper to clear away sand and dust while still allowing the camel to see, even in the middle of a sandstorm.
Fact 4: A Walking Thermostat
Headline: To save water, a camel lets its body temperature rise by 6^\circ\text{C} (11^\circ\text{F}) before it starts sweating.
Why it's amazing: Instead of constantly using water to sweat and keep its body at a stable temperature like humans do, a camel allows its internal temperature to fluctuate significantly. It absorbs heat during the day and releases it during the cooler night, drastically reducing water loss.
Fact 5: The Real Hump Story
Headline: A camel's hump doesn't store water—it stores up to 36 kg (80 lbs) of fat.
Why it's amazing: This concentrated fat deposit is a vital energy reserve, allowing a camel to survive for weeks without food. Keeping the fat in a hump rather than evenly distributed over its body also helps the camel stay cool, as there isn't a thick layer of insulating fat trapping body heat.
