  5. Camels • When you are at the Great Pyramids, take a camel ride. This is how one travels the desert. Five Fun Facts About Camels • Camels have a double row of long, curly eyelashes to keep out sand and dust. • Camels can drink up to 40 gallons of water at a time. • One reason camels can go so long without water is because their red blood cells are oval-shaped. They flow rather than clump when a camel is dehydrated. • Camels don’t start sweating until 41 degrees Celsius. • Camels can kick in all four directions with all four of their legs. http://www.mythicalireland.com/ancientsites/world/egypt_great_pyramid_camel.jpg First Slide Quiz End http://www.djiboutijones.com/2013/02/15-cool-facts-about-camels/ • Qzisz
