Dromedary camels are classified in the family Camelidae and live in desert habitats of North Africa and Asia. In these hot, dry environments, dromedary camels can lose up to $$\(30 \%\)$$ of their body mass from dehydration, causing their blood to become more viscous (thicker). Fig. 2.1 shows a drawing of red blood cells of a dromedary camel. Fig. 2.2 is a drawing of human red blood cells. Fig. 2.1 and Fig. 2.2 show differences between the red blood cells of dromedary camels and the red blood cells of humans. Suggest how these differences adapt dromedary camels for living in hot, dry environments. ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . ............................................................................................................................................... . .........................................................................................................................................
