Bactrian camels have two humps as opposed to their Arabian relatives' single hump. The humps work in the same way, storing fat that can be converted to water and energy when food is scarce. These humps contribute to camels' legendary ability to travel for long periods without water, even in harsh desert conditions. The humps become floppy and flabby as their fat stores deplete.
