The long leg of camels is an adaptation. 

State whether the statement is true or false. 

Animals that live in the desert need to overcome the excessive heat and scarce water availability. Camels adapt to these conditions in the following ways: 

1. Have long legs to keep the body away from the heat of the sand.
2. They excrete small amounts of urine, their dung is dry and they do not sweat.

Since camels lose very little water from their bodies, they can live for many days without water.

Hence, the given statement is true.
