The World's First Traffic Light Signal For Camels? | How Much Water Does A Camel's Hump Hold?

If you are a human, you are surely aware of the traffic light signals. You must also be aware that it is necessary to stop at the red signal and proceeds on the green. But why do you need of doing so, you do this because you are a human being, and traffic signals are generally made for humans only, as you might have heard. But have you ever heard that traffic signals are also made for animals, especially for camels? Probably not, but what doesn't happen anywhere that happens in China. Yes, a traffic signal has been installed for camels at the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring in Dunhuang City to avoid collisions between camels and the people there. It is claimed to be the world's first traffic light signal for camels. The whole concept works on a very simple strategy, as soon as a green signal appears in the traffic lights, the camels go ahead, and whenever a red signal appears, the tourists who visit the area, move ahead. What an amazing idea it really seems to be.

How Much Water Does A Camel's Hump Hold?

We already know that camel can survive for many days without water and for this reason, it is also called the ship of the desert. But many people have a misconception about camels, as they usually think that camel stores water in its hump. But for your kind information, let us tell you that no water is actually stored in the humps, in fact, whatever water the camel stores, it does in its bloodstream and not in the hump. The Camel's hump does not contain water at all, it actually stores fat which the camel uses as nourishment when food is lacking. If the camel uses its hump's stored fat, the hump will not remain stiff and hang downward, but with proper nutrition and required rest, it will return to normal shape. Apart from this, there is little information that we want to share whenever you give water to a camel, it drinks up to 20 gallons at a time i.e. 75 liters of water. This is the reason why camels can go for long periods of time without water.
