How do camels avoid high temperature?

Small mammals can avoid high temperature and dehydration by digging holes, but camels can't. However, the shape and physique of camels have their own characteristics. Because the camel's legs are particularly long, the distance between the abdomen and the ground is increased, which can avoid the heat reflected by the ground and is also beneficial to walking. Camels have horny pads under their hoofs, which can reach a thickness of 1 cm, and there are a lot of melanin, so they won't feel hot when they step on hot sand. Their hooves are big and webbed, which can prevent them from getting stuck in the sand when they walk. Camels walk slowly and rhythmically, and they can save energy most.

when a camel lies on a high-temperature sand surface, it first lands on its forelegs, pushes the hot sand forward forcefully, then lands on its knees, and pulls the hot sand back forcefully. For example, when the air temperature is 29℃ and the ground temperature is 47℃, after the camel lies on the ground, the temperature under its forelegs is 32℃, and the temperature at the bottom of its chest is 37℃.
