Camels do not store water, they store the animal fat tristearin (c57h110o6) Equation is: c57h110o6 + 163o2 114co2 + 110h20. They have long noses condensation in nostrils minimize water loss, and poop really dry. They have an extreme tolerance to water loss (up to 30-40% of their body weight) Geese: migrating geese have distinct and challenging routes, fly south to prevent winter exposure, and north for nesting ground, in spring and summer eat leaves, grass, flowers, stems, roots, seeds, etc. Can often eat for 12 hours a day, and feed even more intensively right before they fly (before and after winter)
