      They are both very well adapted to living in dry (or ‘arid’) environments – they both have ways of storing water for example, camels store it in their humps and cacti store it in their bulbous bodies. Cacti might have very long roots for reaching water whereas camels have long legs so they can walk to find water. I think they are equally as well adapted as each other just in different ways!
