A five-ton elephant can be eaten. Why is there no carnivore to eat a camel? Does it have no natural enemies?

Anyone who has traveled to the desert has seen a camel. It has a high hump, and although it is large in size, it has a docile personality. Everyone knows that it is difficult for people to walk for a long time in the desert, but the camel is different. It can still survive in the desert, and it seems to have few natural enemies. Do you know the reason for this?

The reason why the camel can survive in the harsh desert environment is that during its historical evolution, it has evolved organs that can adapt to this environment. For example, there is a lot of water hidden in its hump. When there is enough food, it can eat as much as it wants, so that the excess part is converted into fat and stored in the hump. When it is in a harsh environment, even if there is no water and food, it can still rely on the fat in the hump to maintain its strength, so Camels have a very strong ability to withstand drought and cold. Coupled with its thick limbs, even in the desert, it can travel long distances without getting tired.

If you look closely, you can see that the camel has three eyelids, which prevent sand from being blown into the eyes by the wind. Then if there is a big sandstorm in the desert, the camel can still survive. Also because the camel has these advantages, it was domesticated by humans very early and became a means of transportation for humans.

In the past, some people still ate camels, which eventually led to the extinction of wild dromedary camels. The number of wild bactrian camels is also extremely limited, so it is said that camels have few natural enemies, but if they encounter ferocious people, that's another story. However, some people say that wolves are the natural enemies of camels in the wild. However, wolves are much smaller than camels, and they are not suitable for living in deserts. Therefore, wolves do not pose a great threat to camels, and it is relatively difficult to prey on camels.

Many camels are now raised by humans, so it is even more difficult for wolves to come and prey on them. In general, wild camels are now living in protected areas, and the staff are very strict in protection, so wolves have no chance. Although there are a large number of artificially raised camels, they are already the property of herdsmen, and wolves are even more difficult to prey on.
