Tell Me, What's Inside A Camel's Hump?

I am curious

A camel's hump is like a special backpack where it stores fat. This fat is like a snack supply that the camel can use when it can't find food in the desert.

Instead of carrying water, the hump helps the camel stay energized. So, when the camel doesn't eat for a while, it can use the fat from its hump to keep going. If the camel uses a lot of its stored fat, the hump might get smaller and softer until it can eat again and fill it back up.

Woah, a camel’s hump is like a built-in snack backpack! I thought it was full of water, but it's actually fat for when they get hungry! That is so cool! Does it squish like a pillow when it gets smaller?
