Thermoregulation and Evaporative Cooling in Desert Ungulates

Quick fact

A camel can tolerate losing up to 25% of its body weight in water, while a human would die at around 15%. This extreme tolerance is partly due to their ability to store heat and use efficient evaporative cooling without losing excessive water.

Why this is interesting

Imagine running a marathon in a furnace while carrying your entire life savings in a water bottle that must last for weeks. How do desert animals like camels and oryx do it?
