Long eyelashes to stop sand from going into their eyes. 2 humps on their back so they can store energy, water and fat for their long journeys that can last up to 10 days without either food or water etc. They have big hooves on the bottom of their feet so they can walk through the sand easier and so they make a track of where they move.
