Question

Despite its hump, a camel has a straight spine. True or False?

Answer 1

True.

Answer 2

True!

It's hump is made of fat reservoir... (so that the camel can draw it out when needed) ^^

Answer 3

A  A camel's spine goes up and down like a roller coaster.

B  A camel's spine is as straight as an arrow.

A or B?

Answer 4

true, its humps are fat stores for when they are in extreme conditions.....

Answer 5

True, the camels hump is actually made up of... well, I don't know exactly.  Maybe cartillidge, water?  But I'm pretty sure the spine is actually straight.

Answer 6

Relatively true. There is a slight curve to it but the spine does not follow the outline of the hump. If it did, it would have to distort when the hump sagged as the fat was used up. And bactrian (2-humped) camels would just look weird.

Answer 7

True
