In fact, a camel won't start sweating until the temperature reaches about 105 degrees Fahrenheit, and can go about two months without water. Camels also have two rows of eyelashes, you only have one. For all these reasons, unlike a camel, which can go two months without water, you need to drink, constantly and daily, especially during exercise. The bottom line, unlike a camel, you sweat. You sweat when it's cold out.
