Picture a camel strolling across the desert, that famous lump rising from its back like a sand dune that decided to travel. Most people will tell you, with great confidence, exactly what's inside it: water. A built-in canteen. A wobbly tank of emergency lemonade. Charming theory. Completely wrong.

Let's just say it plainly, so we can get on with the good part: a camel's hump is not full of water. Not a drop sloshes around in there. If you somehow peeked inside one, you would not get a splash. You would get something far more surprising and a little bit delicious-sounding.
