It is a big mound of fat, can weigh up to 80 pounds: it allows the animal to survive for up to 2 weeks with limited food. Can often eat for 12 hours a day, and feed even more intensively right before. Especially when these animals are undertaking exercise in a challenging environment. Camel: prefers sugar tristearin (c57h110o6) long time without drinking, but do not use this for water production fat used for atp poop really dry weight) There is an interaction between carbohydrate and especially lipid use. They prefer fat over carbohydrates bc more atp. They can still break down fat in a hypoxic environment. High altitude and prolonged flight can induce lipolysis.
