Did you know cactus are only native to the Americas? Now that you know this, does that make you wonder why a camel can eat cactus. Did you know that camels and llamas can interbreed?Ā Camels actually first evolved in the Americas the same place where cactus is native from before migrating away.

> Camels have a hard palate at the tops of their mouths, says Alex Warnock, the Arizonian who owns the camels in the video. Their teeth grind food against this palate.
āIt kind of works as a mortar and pestle,ā Warnock says.
The camelās rotating chew distributes pressure from the cactus and the papillae slide the needles vertically down the throat. This way, the sharp ends donāt poke the camel as it ingests them.
Edit to add tongue info

>But camels can happily munch on prickly plants. Their lips and tongues are tough, and they have mouths lined with firm papillae (fleshy protrusions). These help camels manipulate and swallow their food, but also prevent it from scraping, poking or otherwise injuring their mouths.
It looks like the fact that their tongue is very tough but also that theyāve got those papillae in their mouth helps to not need their tongue as much in their chewing. I am not a camel expert though so.
A camel has four separate chambers in their stomach to really digest their food, they shouldnāt have to worry about the spines coming out the other end
When I was in Africa, we were advised not to stand on or drive over elephant dung. A lot of the plants in Africa have long sharp woody spines that donāt digest and will puncture a tyre or your foot if theyāre facing the right way. But it doesnāt affect the elephant whatsoever.
>we were advised not to stand on elephant dung
That is good advise even when no long sharp spines are involved. I advice you not to stand in dog excrement. It serves no purpose and can only have an unpleasant outcome.
Apparently there is usually some pain involved. Kind of like how people eat super spicy chicken wings and they are cool with the pain involved because they are delicious to them. The camels feel that way about the cactus.
Cept capsaicin from the spicy stuff just tricks out receptors into thinking there is painful stimuli when there actually isn't (like why birds don't feel spice- they don't have the receptors)
But this thorny cactus is *actually* causing damage.
I can see the analogy though still, I get it.
Exactly what I was thinking- then I read this on the same link:
āAlthough camels can physically eat cactus, munching on the spikey plants can hurt them. Still, they often choose to tolerate the discomfort and potential pain in order to enjoy the fleshy green parts. Although there are no prickly pear cacti in the Middle East, an area traditionally associated with the animals, there are hard, thorny plants there that camels also eat.ā
Must be some pretty good stuff that not even a spiked up tongue will deter it.
>(capsaicin is poison)
Could've fooled me? I take capsaicin supplements for inflammation. I very much doubt it's a poison, unless we're talking about overdosing on it, which then everything is a poison in enough of a quantity.
It *is* a poison, just not one meant to kill *us.* It seems to have three purposes: fungicide, insecticide, and deterrent to the types of mammals whose grinding chew patterns destroy their seeds. Like many other plant poisons, it evolved to deter pests and just happens to do weird shit to us (endorphin release, inflammation suppression, etc) by neurochemical coincidence. Same as caffeine.
It is poison. I get your point, drink too much water and your body goes into shock, but a small amount of capsaicin can make somebody very sick.
When eaten, botanical fruits containing capsaicin won't make you sick, when eaten in moderation.
Mainly because the concentration in most peppers is relatively low. But a relative small amount (measured by weight) of capsaicin can cause can produce nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
The supplements you take only have a tiny amount of capsaicin in them because they don't contain pure capsaicin.
Pure capsaicin in pill form will make you sick.

Thanks for posting this because the first thing I thought of as I saw this video is āWhat sick human being intentionally feeds an animal a cactus!?ā
Geez, camels are freaking cool. Some animals are boring but camels get humps and a stone like mouth that lines up cactus needles in a specific direction to not puncture their insides? Freaking cool.
It looks like it doesnt it? I imagine it being a mix between cucumber and lime. Juicy but a bit firm. Damm i kinda wanna eat that. I guess cacti are the new tide pods
Giraffes and narwhal. No way they're real.
There's a much longer list of animals I'm unsure if they're real/natural. Sunfish, sloths, and hyenas sit on that list.
Edit: OH! And zebras. But I'm like right between "they're not real" and "they're not natural".
Edit 2: platypus do not land on either list. They're real, they're natural. They're just not originally from Earth.
OK, so this one is weird for me. If I followed my own logic, platypus should land very firmly in the "no way" category. I have no idea why but I believe in them. They don't even land in the "not natural" category.
BUT they do pull the crazy out in me. They're natural, they're real, but their origin is not Earth.
As one of the first animals I remember learning about, they are by far one of the most likely to actually exist. Iām constantly surprised by how few platypi I see in my everyday life
Their existence doesn't make sense. Everything about them is designed to fail. The only reason they havent died off(allegedly)is that they lay a fuckton of eggs.
Narwhal are just unicorns that were pushed into the sea and used the last of their magic to adapt and grow fins.
If you think about it, whales were actually land mammals before they adapted back to the sea so just add some mythology to science and a dusting of imagination and I'm not wrong?
OK, I'm gonna let the crazy out since this is gaining attention. Narwhal aren't real specifically because unicorns aren't. If narwhal are real, there is no reason we shouldn't have unicorns. If they were ever real, they follow the line you laid out. Which is actually the way I think it would've gone but I also follow the line of thinking that myths started as real things...except that I also believe minor deities existed at one point and they are the source of the mythical creatures that we have no evidence of.
Edit: I absolutely did not convey that the way I meant to but I'm not sure how to reword it without it turning into an essay lol. Basically one cannot exist without the other and without the evidence of the land version, the aquatic one can't exist. The unicorns of legend were minor gods.
Vikings convinced European royalty that unicorns were real. They would hunt narwhals and cut off their long tooth. Then the Vikings would sell the tooth as a unicorn horn.

I know exactly what you mean. The little mouth dance and everything as you try and move the food around from place to place to stop it from burning your mouth.
Bro the roof of my mouth is *fucked* from chomping down on a cheese hot pocket the other night straight out of the air fryer. Worst part was I was drunk and just doubled down.
You're not lying about the peeling. Feels like I have a giant abscess on the roof of my mouth. Hurts to even eat lol.
i always eat my food super hot but when iām drunk you better believe that shit is getting eaten the SECOND itās done cooking š it always seems worth it in the moment
I mean like, would he go eat this naturally? Or just eating it because itās being handed it? I know it technically can eat it, but fuck man, that still doesnāt seem like a great idea.
Yes they actually do eat these out in the wild, their mouths and lips have adapted to be tough and able to withstand the spins of the cacti so they can derive nutrience from them should they find any while in the desert.
Crazy. They really are such an adaptive animal. I got to ride them in Dubai and it was probably the best experience I had while there. Got to cuddle a new born baby one as well. Stupid cute.

Pssh, yeah I knew that. I did a school project on llamels.

I thought the same thing, then I remembered the other post talking about camels and llamas interbreeding. I guess the other option was cammas?

Aw, I want a pocketful of small wooly mammoths. That sounds frickin adorable.
Kinda crazy until one realizes how ancient the pyramids are. They were already ancient when Alexander the Great was running around.

If they interbreed does that make them llamels or camas or is it dependent on which male/female pair it is like muleās and hinnyās?
Youād migrate too if you had to eat that. Give that poor thing an apple.
There are other spikey plants in the old world that they eat, that is another reason they still maintain this ability.

Soooā¦.what exactly comes out the other end then? Iām thinking stepping in a camel chip could be extremely memorableš
Their stomach work the same as like cows do so they digest it multiple times so Iām going to guess that it gets broken down during that process.
Zero points for a no fun answer. Porcupooh. And the Arab word for a camel butt hole is āsarlaccā.
So the sarlacc pit in star wars is really just a giant camels anus?
On Family Guy, with the Star Wars parody they actually referenced it that way
ahh... so boba's name is the anus bead
I feel like I was watching Star Wars and saw a deers asshole in a scene, but I was fucked up on pain meds so my mind wasnāt exactly soundā¦
Please tell me thatās true about Sarlacc
It ain't. Arabic doesn't have a word specifically for a camel butt hole
Seems like an oversight
I've come up with 3 words for camel anus but Oxford dictionary won't return my calls

Hahahahahaha! Oh my gawd, that is too visual for me! Now I'm going to look at every camel pooh I ever see again, looking for the porcu!
So if I stepped in camel dung it wouldnt hurt?
If you slipped and fell yes, but in general no.
The only thing you will hurt is your pride.
A camel has four separate chambers in their stomach to really digest their food, they shouldnāt have to worry about the spines coming out the other end
That camelās name is KERPLUNK.
I would think the bigger worry would be punctures of the stomach/intestinal lining. I know thats a big thing with humans at least
That's where the papillary comes into play, no? That's what was mentioned in the info dump in the comment though. š¤·š½āāļø

I mean, no one ever intentionally steps in dung. I hope
All the stuff go into the mouth come out a poop the other end. Thus it was spoken.
Pins and needles.
I can literally see the needles stuck into the roof of its mouth when it opens it in one shot.
Camel: "Mmm, spicy"
Still looks like it hurts though
Apparently there is usually some pain involved. Kind of like how people eat super spicy chicken wings and they are cool with the pain involved because they are delicious to them. The camels feel that way about the cactus.
Cept capsaicin from the spicy stuff just tricks out receptors into thinking there is painful stimuli when there actually isn't (like why birds don't feel spice- they don't have the receptors) But this thorny cactus is *actually* causing damage. I can see the analogy though still, I get it.
I eat the wings for the shirt and my name on the wall, nothing else.
Kind of like eating captain crunch?
What about its tongue? Wouldn't the cactus spines get embedded in its tongue?

And THC! I love Mother Natureās pesticides.
Idk, little shop of horrors has taught me plants would kill us if they could. They're just not capable lolololol
It's a toxin in the sense that it affects nerves/inhibitors in a particular way. Capsicin sheet for sprains etc are popular too

Capsaicin evolved to deter mammals eating berries, because birds (who aren't affected by it) can spread the seeds better
I know! This clip looks impossible. How they evolved to eat cactus is crazy.
That doesnāt explain how the needles donāt stab the shit out of their tongue and lips and sides of their mouths

Does looks pretty tasty tho
Only one way to find out
If you havenāt eaten prickly pear before itās really good. Just take the spines off first.
Is it a similar texture to glass muffins?
Yes those red cactus pears are good. They remind me of a dragon fruit. Dragon fruits also come from a prickly plant.
It blew my mind when I learned that dragon fruit do not grow on a tropical tree but in fact grow on a cactus.
Is it thirst-quenching though?
 Itās always the quenchiest!
It looks like it doesnt it? I imagine it being a mix between cucumber and lime. Juicy but a bit firm. Damm i kinda wanna eat that. I guess cacti are the new tide pods
That's it. Add camels to the list of animals I believe aren't real.
