Yes-These are camels snacking on cactus. This pair of dromedary camels, Baby and Nessie, clearly don’t mind the spines. It hurts, but they can handle it. Camels have adapted to harsh desert conditions that require them to eat thorny plants. Inside a camel’s mouth, small cone-shaped protrusions called papillae guide the animal’s chew. The key is to avoiding being poked by the spines. Camels pivot their chew and slide the needles vertically down their throats. Regardless of their discomfort, the ruminators keep ruminating.

Chewing on cacti seems impossible, but not for camels! What are your thoughts on their ability to handle spiky snacks?
Nat Geo WILD its a amazing but a little bit disturb...because for me it hurts because the spines is long and sharp but amazingly they can handle it though...😊😊😊
evolution is so totally amazing - life, flora and fauna, has adapted to so many kinds of
habitats. somehow i don't see this as happening so slowly as Darwin thought. there has
been evidence, i'm pretty sure i saw it somewhere (Science News?) of plants and animals
adapting already to the climate change. But, i had no idea that camels could survive by
eating cacti. it probably started by eating softer succulents and then smaller needles to
the really large ones. it's totally incredible - and very crunchy. thank you for posting - fascinating :}
Even with the oral adaptations, it's hard to believe that any soft tissue could withstand those spikes!
Cactus Taco!

I mean weren't the spines on a cactus evolved to protect it from being eaten
Eating and toothpicking at the same time. Genius.
I don't think thats how it works
🤣🤣
Google camels mouth inside
More like eating and getting your flu shot at the same time
Truly genius.

Incredible! You spend all that time evolving spines so no one can touch you,and yet you still get eaten!

Kind of like the leaf only koalas are able to eat. 🤔
metal greymon hahaha good one. I can almost see it happening xDD
roastingpotato Depends on the cacti of course this cactus is also eaten by people so there’s no real “internal defenses” like bitter tasting substances etc found in other cacti.
Evolution is false.
Christ created all things.
All I can say is.. OUCH! These camels has gone a long way to being able to adapt such 'delicacy'. Pretty amazing they don't really get choked on those thorns. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.
It really is fascinating that they can handle this type of food. Perfect example of an animal adapting to its environment!
Azliana Lyana I agree 😊
Azliana Lyana indeed is amazing to see camels eat cactus, and cacti are only native to the americas (exept for one type of cactius). But later on they were introduce into the old world. Basicly Thats how much they can adapt.
They are not naturally adapted to eat cacti but instead Native thorny plants, either these are Arizona Dromedaries or they used this handy adaption on introduced cacti
Not adapted but wisely designed and created by a wise all-mighty god Allah ❤
Something like that cant simply exist randomly and not a single research proved "evolution theory"
The more I learn about camels, the most I realize that they are one of the most amazing animals.
Yes. They even have a bag of water in their backs so they can travel for niles in desert without drinking.
That was... painful to watch.
But the sounds is satisfying
warset doesnt make it any less painful to watch.

my gf asked me what im doing at the computer. I said i was watching camels eating cacti
You can se some of the spikes inserted in the roof of the mouth at 1:00
Well camels are from America so they dont mind :)
though a lot of animals are humble and quiet in their bearing.. Camels i should say is one of the top.. Endured the hot arid climate of the deserts, endured thirst for hours/days, carried loads of heavy stuffs, and have to eat cactus plants for survival.. Camels deserve admiration for strength, endurance, and meekness.. No wonder the camel specie are still intact since time immemorial for they had adopted and acclimatized with the kind of environment they're in.. A living testament that difficulties in life make u more stronger.
tida notes they proven their strength and emotions for thousands of years. Through war and survival. How do they do it? I wish I knew...
camels are humble but when they get angry they crush ur skull
Mac Mcskullface that's beautiful!

@@theconman8472 fact: they are ruminants. They swallow their food to be semi-digested, then they puke it again, for more chewing. Yes, sounds disgusting, but it's effective in getting the most of tough plants.

Anyone here from Minecraft Live 2022? Got scared when they said Camels eat cactus, but apparently, they do!
My camels! You can watch more of Baby and Nessie on my channel. They sure love their cactus. And no they are not hungry or thirsty. They go for cactus over any other food and they like it this way.
Did they credit you? If not they should have, no?
Edit: Wait, nevermind i just seen it at the end must have missed it.
They asked for permission to use the video and I allowed it. They didn't take it without asking.
camelsandfriends Ah, I thought these were your camels!
camelsandfriends Did they pay you for it or did they just ask if they could use it?
@ThexMongoloidxFreak did you watch the video? It literally says the opposite of what you just said
Doesn't the skin around their mouths get poked?
Or their internal organs for that matter. Imagine dissecting a camel carcass and finding thorns in their innards. :/
Noire Alouette Hikari at 0:58 you can see a few needles stabbed into the top of its mouth
It probably is but they have been seen choosing spiny foods over other things they can eat like apples (I don't remember exactly what it was but it didn't have spines and they were perfectly happy eating it) so apparently they can deal with the pain lol

I saw blood on one of those cacti so yeah I think the skin get poked

Camel asmr! 🐫🐪
Its oddly relaxing...
Yesssss
No stop
The camel is like, "Hold my beer. Watch this." and then he starts gobbling down a big chunk of cactus with inch long spikes as everyone looks on screaming. A week later he's in another bar in another state using his special powers to earn free beers. Eventually he becomes a hopeless drunk. He writes a book and does the Dr Phil show.
I think if they were my camels i'd cut the thorns off for them.
I know its a huge waste of time but I just tasted blood just from watching that
Pretttyyy sure they enjoy it with the spines/thorns on
X3n0 I don't think they like it, I think they just endure it and have adapted to tolerate the spines.
That’s actually a bit of a bad idea, as they actually digest the thorns as well for the nutrients that they provide along with the cactus. You cut off the spines and you’re cutting out 1/3 of the nutrition.
Multi- so you'd feed them 1/3 more spineless cacti, then. What diff? Or give them some hay or oats or whatever they'd like.
Not like cactus aren’t abundant or anything

Cactus: Evolves spikes to protect itself.

This video gave me an explanation of how camels are able to chew, eat and consume the cactus, but I still don’t understand why and how. Amazing animals, camels are.
Probably 'cause cactus leafs contain water such as all succulent plants do.
They need to hydrate themselves to survive in the desert, and they do it at all costs.
Because they evolved in the desert so they have had to overcome the problem of food, they have evolved a thick hard palate and strong teeth to grind the prickles.
Saw on Minecraft Live that camels eat cacti, so I had to come see it for myself. Amazing and crazy how these animals have adapted to desert living.
Ikr!!
Cacti: "We have adapted to one of the most harshest climates in the world and can defend ourselves via needles. We are unstoppable."
Camel: "Say hello to my little cones."
This video is gives me more motivation than anything on UA-cam
This was painful to watch. 😔
Cactus:- I can hurt you
Camel:- oh it's delicious 😋
I know it can eat them but just feed it some apples or something.
They’re ruminators. They need greens and they have adapted to eating desert plants, you can’t just undercut millions of years of evolution without killing or hurting the animal.
1) it prefers cacti.
2) they don't even eat apples in nature, why would you feed them that.
Mandoon Their desert animals they won’t healthy live on fruit and probably the only fruit they ever will get is from cacti and depending on the species the fruit it’s self can be covered in spines.
Mandoon Apples? you must be American
lol what how does being american relate to one deciding on feeding a camel apples
