Knowledge Bears - Camels
A large variety of animals are covered from around the world and these can support a variety of units in Superschemes. The example given is the ABC of camels where children can find out all there is to know about camels! The hump in fact does not store water contrary to popular belief but fat which it uses when it needs some extra energy.
