What Causes a ‘Hump’ in the Back of a Camel?

Camels have humps on their backs to store energy. Think of them like tiny batteries that help the camel go longer without food or water. When they need energy, the hump gives it out in the form of fat. It’s like a camel has a built-in snack pack for long desert trips!

The hump stores fat, which can be turned into energy and water when needed. This helps camels survive in hot and dry places where food and water are scarce.
