Why have you never heard of camels being killed by other animals?

The desert where camels live is severely short of water and food, so there are no predators who can kill camels, and the camels themselves are large enough to not be afraid of predators.

In the long evolution, camels gradually adapted to the harsh climate of the desert, and the hump evolved to store water, and it was difficult for other animals to survive in the harsh environment of the desert, so the probability of camels being killed by other animals is very small.

It is because camels live in the desert, and there are few animals in the desert that are opponents of camels, and camels are also very large.

Many people believe that camels have no natural predators, but in fact this view is completely wrong.

The living environment of wild camels is generally those Gobi desert areas with relatively harsh natural conditions, and in such a harsh environment, ordinary large carnivores cannot survive.

But camels can be like fish in water, because in the absence of food and water, camels can not only break down the fat stored in the hump to continue to maintain their strength, but also the large and thick hooves of camels make it easy to walk in the desert.

As a result, big cats such as tigers and lions find it difficult to survive in such an environment, and as a result, the number of carnivores that can prey on camels will be greatly reduced.

But canines are very adaptable, so the biggest threat to camels is wolves. Wolves live in a wide range of areas, and wolves are social creatures, and when they encounter camels, they will attack the young camels in the herd, causing the death of their cubs. But now, the wolf pack has dwindled, resulting in a rare sight of wolves attacking camels.

Therefore, we rarely hear about carnivores killing camels, so we think that camels have no natural predators.

Extended Material: Why Do Camels Survive in the Desert?

First of all, the body structure of the camel is very peculiar, and the soles of the camel's feet have wide pads. Not only does it have anti-scalding effects, but it also ensures that it walks normally in the sand, and the camel's eyelashes are very long, the nostrils have valves, and there are a lot of slender hairs in the ears and eyes, which can help it resist the wind and sand. Secondly, camels have one or two humps on their bodies, in which fat is stored.

When there is a lack of food for a long time, these fats are automatically converted into nutrients to sustain their life activities. These fats also help them regulate their body temperature, keeping them warm in winter and heat in summer. The fat in the hump can produce water during the oxidation process, and the camels themselves can also store water, and when they encounter water sources, they will drink a lot of water, and this water will be diffused into the cells of the whole body through circulation.

Finally, the camel's body temperature can also change with the outside air temperature, reducing water evaporation. It is precisely because of these special body structures that camels have become an indispensable means of transportation for humans in the desert.

Some. Camels have natural predators, and there are actually many natural enemies of it, such as wolves and humans. The reason why it is rare to hear about camels being killed by carnivores is because camels are not rare and protected animals, and camels are basically domesticated these days, so it is rare to hear about camels being killed by carnivores.

Yes. This is because camels are very large and weigh very much, so camels generally have no natural predators.

No, mainly because the living environment of camels is relatively remote, and camels rarely appear in nature, so they rarely hear the news of **killing.

There are no natural predators. Because of the living environment of camels, there are few large carnivores, and camels have no natural predators in their unique environment.

There are natural predators because the number of such animals is particularly small, there is no special attention, and it is difficult for such animals to encounter natural predators.

Camels are very sweaty animals, and as long as they drink enough water, they can go days without drinking water, and they can move in very awkward places. The camel's body temperature is also quite magical, at night it is about 34 and during the day it can reach 41. Camels are docile and often able to move alone, but it seems that few animals are heard of hunting camels, because camels live in the desert and there are no large carnivores that can survive here, and even if they do, they may not be able to beat camels.

Nowadays, many places in the world are raising camels in large quantities, in the past, people would use camels to transport things, with that kind of heavy goods, so when walking in the desert, humans are also on the side, which can protect camels, so those large carnivores do not dare to approach. And the size of the animal itself is relatively large, if the camel is an adult, the weight can reach about 700 pounds in life, and the speed is quite fast when walking, so carnivores may not be able to outrun the camel. <>

Another reason is related to the survival habits of camels, because most of the areas where camels live are in the desert, and the climatic conditions in the desert are too harsh, except for the entrance, there are almost no large animals that can survive here, so the camels can't be touched at all, and even if they come, it is not easy to hunt camels. The place where the camel lives is relatively far away from the human place, so even if the camel is really hunted by predators, people may not know. <>

Because the fan in the desert is relatively large, if a camel is hunted by predators, the corpse and wreckage will soon be killed and buried. And at present, most of the intersections are bred in captivity, there are few wild camels, and the number is constantly decreasing, so camels are rarely hunted by natural enemies. However, it is everyone's responsibility to protect animals, and the camels raised in captivity are still considerable, but everyone still has to protect them.

Yes. Because predators such as desert lions and Mongolian wolves threaten camels, camels also have natural predators.

I think camels also have natural enemies, but camels have very few natural enemies, and camels walk in the desert, very few animals can survive in the desert, camels are also very protected by some herders, basically will not allow some animals to attack camels.

Camels also have natural enemies, and any creature that exists in this world has natural enemies.

The main reason why we rarely hear about camels being killed by carnivores is the current situation of camels in the wild. From the above introduction, we can see that in the wild, the number of Bactrian camels is extremely small, and they are now all in protected areas, where it is impossible for carnivores to hunt camels. The dromedary camel is only wild in Australia, but Australia itself lacks carnivores, which leads to the fact that the Australian dingo is considered the top predator here, and Australia has so many small, poorly defended marsupials, there is no need to risk killing the huge camel.

Camels also have natural predators, such as wolves, wolves are very aggressive, and will hunt some old, weak, sick and disabled camels to satisfy their appetite.

This is not the reason at all, camels are herbivores, plus the living environment of camels is generally an arid area, so there are no large carnivores at all.

It's not that camels don't have natural predators, it's that camel meat is not particularly delicious, and camels are very large and run very fast, so few carnivores kill camels.

Camels have natural predators, because now the wild camels are almost extinct, and the remaining camels have been protected by the reserve, and the natural predators cannot get close to the camel herd.

No. This is because camels are very large and powerful, and many species will be crushed to death by camels, not that camels have no natural predators.

Although it is now very developed, no one has ever heard of camels being hunted by other wild animals, and camels are called "ships of the desert" and often walk between deserts, so some people believe that the areas where camels live lack large carnivores, so there is a lack of natural predators.

Camels, with the title of "Ship of the Desert". Since ancient times, they have been people's right-hand men, because they are very drought-tolerant, extremely survivable, can help people avoid wind and sand and load goods, with their help, people can pass through the environment and its harsh desert areas, and then build a world-famous commercial bridge - the Silk Road.

The special body structure of camels also makes them experts in desert walking, first of all, the ability to resist hunger and thirst, can walk normally without drinking water for 10 days or even longer, because there is almost no water source in the vast desert, as long as you walk into the desert, it will take ten days and a half months to get out, so this ability of camels is crucial.

In addition to wild Bactrian camels, there is also a type of camel that is dromedary, which was domesticated by humans and brought to the Australian region by humans, but with the advancement of science and technology, the demand for camels has decreased, resulting in the gradual wilding of these camels.

These large numbers of camels can be effectively protected by people, even if the best carnivores, do not dare to easily break into human homes to prey on camels, you know, human beings are the top of the food chain animals, with human backers, these domestic camels, effectively avoid being hunted.

Camels have strong stomachs and have a lot of "water floats" like water bottles, they can be a water reservoir for camels, and when they drink water, they can drink more than 100 liters of water in a short period of time, and these water are stored in "water floats". Because they have adapted to this extreme change of situation, the camel will not die from "water poisoning".

In order to protect the fragile ecological environment here, the local ** decided to shoot camels, rather than shoot innocent camels as people say.

Camels are still people's right-hand men. However, hump meat is the first of the eight treasures of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, the lions, tigers and bears are the bosses of the animal world, and they can only be served on the table, and now many animals belong to protected animals, wild camels are national first-class and second-class protected animals, but artificially bred camels are not protected animals.

It may be because of other reasons, the food chain in the ecological environment is constantly changing, so it is because of other reasons, not because there are no natural predators at all.

It is because the environment in which camels live is very harsh, and very few animals can survive in the desert, so camels have no natural predators.

There are other reasons, because where camels live, there are very few large animals, and other animals do not have much influence on camels.

Elephants weighing five tons will be eaten, so why do no carnivores dare to hunt camels? Does he really have no natural enemies? Survival of the fittest has always been the law of survival in nature, whether it is a five-ton herbivore elephant or a large carnivorous bird of prey tiger, there are also natural enemies in the ecological chain.

I believe that in many documentaries, you can often see some old, weak, sick and disabled elephants being hunted by carnivores, but we basically do not see carnivores hunting camels. As herbivores, can't a huge elephant be able to kill a camel?

Clause. 1. Camels are mainly distributed in desert and semi-desert areas, because of their relatively docile character, coupled with their own advantages of enduring hunger and thirst, they are often used by the locals as riding, packing, pulling carts, plowing, etc., and have the reputation of the ship of the desert. It is such an animal, but there are very few cases of public ** killing in nature, and almost no one has seen them hunted and killed by large carnivores in the wild. Is it true that camels have no natural predators?

Clause. Second, I don't know if you have noticed, animals living in the desert are generally relatively small, such as gerbils and sand lakes, this is because the desert environment is harsh, in order to retain water, to ensure their own survival, so the body size often evolves relatively small, but camels are the opposite, adult camels are about two meters tall, weighing about four hundred and fifty-three kilograms, in the wild desert environment, I believe that we are no longer more burly than them with their tall size also made him a desert tyrant, There are hardly any wild predators that can endanger their lives.

Clause. 2. Except for the Arabian wolf, this wolf is very small, with a body length of about 66 centimeters and an average weight of about 18 kilograms. However, his combat effectiveness is not limited by his small size. Arabian wolves are extremely predatory, adapting not only to the desert, but also to migrating long distances in such harsh environments.

It is reported that Arabian wolves can walk at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour all the time, and can reach speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour when hunting. In the case of the wolves analyzing the attack, the camel has a way to escape the wolf's mouth with the advantage of its size. If camels have natural predators, why do we rarely see stories of camels being preyed upon by Arabian wolves?

In fact, there are three main reasons, including topographical, climatic and human reasons.

Clause. 3. The desert is vast, but the topography, environment and climate are not suitable for human habitation, so the desert is an inaccessible place. However, the desert is home to wild camels and Arabian wolves. At present, the number of wild camels is also quite scarce, and most of the camels seen in the desert are captive-bred camels, and these camels have few opportunities to come into contact with Arabian wolves, and even if wolves attack, they will be driven away by humans.

As a result, it is more difficult for them to hunt camels, so there is a saying that carnivores dare not hunt camels.
