TIL: camels* have specially shaped red blood cells which help them go for longer periods without water. 🐫

When mammals get dehydrated, our blood thickens. Camel blood cells are elliptical and more elastic, which helps keep blood circulating effectively.

The red blood cells of the dromedary camel protect it from dehydration because the oval-shaped cells can circulate even in thick blood and can significantly expand during rehydration.
