So what if I told you there was an animal that could survive for weeks without food or water and the scorching desert all thanks to one ingenious storage solution?

如果我告訴你，有一種動物可以在沒有食物或水的情況下生存數週，並在炎熱的沙漠中生存，這一切都要歸功於一個巧妙的存儲解決方案呢？

Today we're going to be talking about camels and their amazing humps.

今天我們要講的是駱駝和它們那驚人的駝峰。

Yeah, camels are some of the most durable animals out there, which makes sense because scientists think that their ancestors migrated from North America through the harsh Arctic tundra, eventually making their way to the desert regions where they live.

是啊，駱駝是最耐用的動物之一，這是有道理的，因為科學家們認為，它們的祖先從北美遷徙過來，經過嚴酷的北極苔原，最終來到了它們生活的沙漠地區。

The rare wild camels found in regions of China and Mongolia have not only been known to drink saltwater, but due to their unfortunate proximity to China's Lochner testing site, they've somehow withstood more than 40 nuclear weapons tests.

在中國和蒙古地區發現的珍稀野駱駝不僅會喝鹽水，而且由於它們不幸地靠近中國的洛奇納試驗場，它們在某種程度上經受住了40多次核武器試驗。

那麼是什麼讓駱駝如此健壯呢？

Well, first of all, they're huge, almost 2 m tall at shoulder hype.

好吧，首先，他們的體型很大，肩部炒作時差不多有2米高。

And one of the things you might think you know about camels is that their humps or water looking at you?

而你可能認為你知道的關於駱駝的一件事是，它們的駝峰或水在看著你？

But actually it's fat, and it's, um, pretty fascinating stuff, which we'll talk about in a minute.

但實際上，它的脂肪，它的，嗯，相當迷人的東西， 我們將在一分鐘內談論。

Well, the hump helps, but a camel's riel hydration secret has to do with its unique blood.

嗯，駝峰有幫助，但駱駝的補水祕訣與它獨特的血液有關。

Unlike our round disks shaped red blood cells, most of a camel's red blood cells are flexible ovals similar to reptiles.

與我們圓盤形的紅細胞不同，駱駝的紅細胞大多是類似於爬行動物的柔性橢圓形。

For US, dehydration increases our risk for blood clots, but a camel's blood still flows easily when thickened by dehydration.

對於美國來說，脫水會增加我們患血栓的風險，但駱駝的血液因脫水而變稠時，仍然容易流動。

That means after losing about half its body weight and moisture, Ah, camel can chug 100 leaders and under 10 minutes rehydrating faster than any other mammal but back to fuel.

Almost all of the fat in a camel's body is concentrated in the tongue, which could make up roughly 10% of its body weight, storing about 35 kg at a time.

駱駝體內的脂肪幾乎全部集中在舌頭上，大概能佔到體重的10%，一次能儲存35公斤左右。

That's about the same weight as a baby camel.

這和一隻小駱駝的重量差不多。

Camel fat is a miraculous and highly nutritious substance packed with vitamins and minerals, like an ever present superfood smoothie.

經受巨大的溫度範圍對駱駝來說是不需要汗水的，最高可達40度的高溫炙烤，在寒冷的沙漠冬天，低至40度的負溫，也不需要汗水。

Camels don't sweat nearly as much as other animals, but when they do, it's in specific patterns and cycles to help them conserve moisture.

駱駝的出汗量幾乎沒有其他動物那麼多，但當它們出汗時，是以特定的模式和週期來幫助它們保存水分。

But their trusty hump helps him with thermal regulation to you and I have fat all over our bodies, meaning we're great at trapping our body heat with insulation.

但他們可靠的駝峰幫助他與熱調節到你和我的身體都有脂肪，這意味著我們是偉大的陷阱我們的身體熱量與絕緣。

But because a camel's fat is all in one place, it leaves the muscles on the rest of the body basically exposed, helping the animal cool down much more quickly.

但因為駱駝的脂肪都在一個地方，所以讓身體其他部位的肌肉基本暴露在外面，幫助動物更快地降溫。

And when it gets too cold, camels can exchange their summer coat for a thick winter, one for an extra layer of warmth.

I could literally go on forever about how awesome camels are.

哦，但現在，我將離開你 與野生駱駝保護基金會的消息。

Despite their nuclear resistance for wild camels, the threat of extinction is very riel.

儘管它們對野駱駝有核抵抗力，但滅絕的威脅非常里爾。

One camel is critically endangered, and it's the eighth most endangered large mammal on the planet, so that makes it more endangered than panda or some types of tiger.

有一隻駱駝是極度瀕危的，它是地球上第八大瀕危的大型哺乳動物，所以它的瀕危程度超過了熊貓或某些類型的老虎。

So it really is on the edge of existence, and it it's a very important animal.

所以它真的是存在的邊緣，它是一種很重要的動物。

The wild camel is truly it's on species of species in its own right, and it's doing really badly.

野駱駝是真正的它自己的物種上的物種，它做的非常糟糕。
