In camel society, food isn’t just about survival; it also plays a role in their behavior and movement patterns. Herds migrate in search of food sources, traveling vast distances across the desert.
A well-fed camel is a strong camel, capable of carrying heavy loads and enduring long journeys without needing to eat frequently.
Whether it’s the Bactrian steppes or the Gobi desert, camels are living proof that adaptation is key to survival. So next time you wonder what camels eat, remember: Even if it’s tough, dry or covered in thorns, a camel can probably eat it.
