- W2147121437 abstract "Camels ( Camelus dromedarius) were exposed to prolonged periods of water deprivation during winter, spring and summer in the Sahara desert. Determinations were made of: weight changes, water and food intake, urine flow and concentrations, plasma concentrations, etc. It was found that the camel can tolerate a loss of water corresponding to 30% of its body weight even when exposed to the severe desert heat. Other mammals dehydrated in a hot environment may die from circulatory failure already when the water loss involves 12% of the body weight. Unlike many other mammals the camel does not lose its appetite when deprived of water but continues to eat normally until the desiccation becomes very severe. It has a low urine output (0.5–1 l/day when kept on a diet of dates and hay), a low water content in the feces, and, when dehydrated in the summer, a very low evaporative water loss. When offered water the camel drinks in 10 minutes enough water for complete rehydration. The longest period that we kept a camel on dry food without drinking water in the hot summer was 17 days. This camel was not working and it had its protective fur which decreased the heat gain from the environment. It is concluded that the ability of the camel to withstand prolonged dehydration is due to: a) tolerance to an extremely high degree of desiccation of the body and b) low overall water expenditure. Particularly effective as a water conserving mechanism is the low evaporative water loss during dehydration in the summer." @default.
