Animal Diets
Animal diets consist of other living organisms, including both plants and other animals, as well as water. Animals have adapted to their surroundings and so will make the most of what is there. Camels for example, inhabit dry and baron deserts where there is little water, so they have evolved the ability to store large amounts of water in their bodies.
