Why are camels not afraid of cactus thorns? And I also like to eat cactus, isn't it painful?

Nowadays, many people like to grow cactus at home or in the office. In fact, cactus is not only for viewing, but also for eating. Many foreign people will pull out the thorns of cactus, and then eat them directly. But there is an animal that is not afraid of this kind of thorn. It is really unimaginable to eat cactus directly. Is it really not afraid of being thorned?

The animal that dares to eat cactus is the dull-looking, clumsy camel known as the ship of the desert. Not only are camels not afraid of cacti, but they also love to eat them. Camels are creatures that can always be seen in the desert. They have a very special appearance and some impressive skills, which cannot be replaced by anyone. There are two humps on the back of this animal, which are specially used to store water in the desert, so the camel can be said to be a treasure in the desert. This animal also looks very cute. It is the king of the desert. Some Man would save his life in the desert because of these creatures.

Many people are very curious. Camels generally cannot find food in the desert, so will they starve to death? In fact, we all know that there are two humps on the back of a camel, and a lot of fat is hidden in these two humps, so even if you don’t eat for a few days, you won’t be hungry.

These cacti always grow perfectly in the desert because of their well-developed root system, but they are also covered with thorns to protect themselves, which also protects themselves very well, and no one will touch them easily , because these thorns are very sharp and can stab people. Although the cactus is full of spikes, camels always chew a piece of cactus in their mouths to eat in the desert. The spines on these cactus look very sharp, let alone crush them with their mouths. The camels ate with gusto, and they didn't feel panicked at all. Aren't camels afraid of pricking their mouths?

It is understood. It turns out that the camel's mouth and tongue are very rough. They have been used to eating rough things for a long time, causing their mouths and tongues to thicken. They have some keratinized papillae in their mouths. Don't underestimate the powerful function of these papillae. These papillae can keep the spines of the cactus in one direction when the camel eats the cactus, which can protect the mouth and tongue.

However, some people still say that although the mouth is not afraid of stinging, what should I do if I eat it in the stomach? Isn't the stomach afraid of pain? All in all, camels are indeed admirable. They can live and move freely in the desert, and they can also eat cactus in the desert. The structure of this animal is specially born for the desert, which is really amazing.
