All living beings require water to survive. However, life in a desert with scarcity of water takes a huge toll. Not just humans, but animals also suffer due to a scarcity of water in deserts. Though animals are biologically adapted to their environments, they also need water to survive. 

Among all animals found commonly in deserts, camels are unique. Camels are also known as Desert Ships and are largely used for transportation by travellers as well as locals. Camels are entrusted by everyone for long travels as they can go for a long time period without water. Camels drink large amounts of water, almost 20 gallons at a time when they get the opportunity to drink. The water is stored in their bloodstream which helps them to survive for a longer time without water. With this capability, the camels brave the scorching heat.

However, recently, a video has surfaced on social media that shows two camels celebrating in the desert after a man brought a water tanker and served them. The camels can be seen rolling on the floors with excitement and later start jumping out of joy while water pours out from the tanker. 

As the camels roll on the wet floor, their happiness can be seen clearly. The camels enjoy every drop of water as they feel on their skin. From their facial expressions, it seems, the camels are smiling. 

The video shared on Twitter by rikitambu je has gone viral on social media. The caption for the post reads: This tanker driver was constantly carrying water for the camels that were thirsty in the desert. Look at the smiles on the camels' faces. They are full of gratitude. Water is life. (sic)

Apart from garnering massive views, the video has won the heart of netizens. Especially, the happy expressions and celebrations of the camels seem to have melted the hearts of all. The comment section is also flooded with red-heart emoticons and notes of appreciation.
