Nostrils, Eyebrows, Ears
In the camel, the nostrils, eyebrows, and ears all play the same role. They each help the camel in the desert conditions. The Nostrils (which close) and the Ears (which are covered in hair) keep the sand from getting into the camel. The eyebrows (which are very thick) shield the eyes from the sun. This allows the camel to walk around the desert to find food and other camels, without getting hurt.
