Why the Camel Can Eat Cacti with Huge Needles Painlessly

How the camel cat eat? Can you imagine yourself or any mammal chewing a cactus with needles 6 inches long? You would burst into tears, but camels seem to enjoy gnawing cacti and other thorny desert plants without injuring themselves. How can it be? Cactus is the only stable source of food in lifeless desert. It is one of the few plants able to survive in extremely hot temperatures. Even if the camel would find another food in the desert it will also be tough and thorny – such is the plants’ mechanism of protection against heating sun. #CamelEatingCactus #HowCamelEatCactus
