DRAW HOW THE EMPEROR PENGUINS TAKE CARE OF THEIR BABIES

(Recuadro grande en blanco con borde naranja para que el estudiante dibuje).

CAMELS

Camels are fascinating creatures that live in very hot places like deserts. They're super adapted to these environments. Circle the adjectives you find.

Camels have a thick coat of hair that acts like their sunblock and helps them keep water in their bodies. They also have long legs that make them great at running in the sandy desert.

Camels can go a long time without drinking water. They can drink up to 30 gallons at once and store it in their bodies for later. Camels live in groups called herds.

Humans have been using camels for ages. We use them for rides, as a source of food, and for their milk.

There are two types of camels: some with one hump and some with two. One-hump camels are more common in places like the Middle East, and two-hump camels are found in Central Asia.

Camels are famous for their super-long desert treks. They can travel up to 100 miles in a single day!
