A camel can drink salt water, even from the Dead Sea. Its blood pressure does not rise because its kidneys filter the water to make it drink fresh, separating the water from the salt.
Camels can eat thorns and their stomachs and intestines are not harmed because their saliva is like acid, which dissolves the thorns and eats them as if they were bread and dough. Therefore, the people of the desert, if thorns fall on their hands or feet, put camel saliva on them and it dissolves the thorns.
Camels have two eyelids, one of which is transparent and the other is made of flesh, so it can walk in desert dust and its eyes are not harmed because it only closes its transparent eyelid.
A camel can change its temperature, raising its temperature if it is in snowy terrain and lowering its temperature in extremely hot desert terrain.
