Be it a human or an animal, hardly anyone can survive without 2-3 meals per day but a few animals can survive without water for years.
Do you want to know which are these strange animals?
Kangaroo rat does not sweat because of their oily coating, allowing them to conserve water in their body. They eat seeds which keep safely in burrows.
Frog which holds water lives in a desert area and stores a large amount of water in its body tissue and bladder.
Lungfish have gills. Which allow them to get oxygen, when the weather turns dry. They dig into the dirt and lives there, until the dirt dries up.
It lives in the desert of Australia. During dry weather, the thorny dragon absorbs rain and mist using layered plates on its skin with a gap. That allows them to retain water.
Lives in Colorado Deser. They lives on the sandy beaches, burrow further into continually moist layer and stay there during the dry season. Others hide beneath thickets of plants.
Gopherus of Agassizii and morafkai are two tortoise species that have unique large bladders which store water for a long time and it carries the water more than its weight.
The camel's back humps aren't formed from water. It is just the fat in their bodies that allows them to go 40 days without drinking while stumbling through the sand.
They sleep too much in the winter and reduce their metabolism by half, allowing them to survive for even more nearly 100 days with no food or water.
They Shrink their oxygen-demanding systems and breathe less. Because both heart and liver have shrunk to take small breath. So lose less water through respiratory evaporation.
