Why is it so rare to hear of animals hunting camels, and don t camels have 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 natural enemy of the camel is the wolf; The reason why it is rare for other animals to eat camels is because camels generally live in the depths of the desert, and few other animals can survive well in the desert, so camels that do not see camels in general will not meet their natural enemies, and the probability of encountering their natural enemies is very small.

Sand wolf, because the desert environment is relatively harsh, in this environment, the camel will shield a lot of natural enemies, so the camel that survives in the desert is relatively safe

Wolf. Because camels live in desert areas, we rarely see camels.

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.

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.

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.

The size of the camel is very large, the height of the camel is also very high, the camel's ability to bounce and kick is very strong, and some carnivores are not the opponent of the camel at all. Camels really have no natural predators.

Because the camel itself runs relatively fast, few animals can catch up with it, and then the camel itself is also a huge animal, and it also has the ability to protect itself, and it is still difficult for other animals to prey on it. Its natural predators are wolves.

Camels have natural predators, and their natural predators are wolves, but the wolves are less numerous, so the camels appear to have no natural predators.

There must be. The explosive power of the camel is very strong, and the attack power is also very strong, so in general, don't provoke it.

It's simple. Camels live mainly in the desert Gobi region, where there are no large predators. This is because most camels are in desert areas, and there are too few desert animals to support large carnivores.

The camels are tall, have enough endurance to run, and their hooves are defensive, so wolves are unlikely to pose enough threat to the camels. The leopard that lives alone is even worse, and over time there are no animals that can eat camels. Of course, when a camel encounters a lions and a tiger or something, it is also a life to be eaten.

First, with the size of a camel, there are not many animals that can hunt it; Second, and most importantly, camels generally live in arid and semi-arid deserts or the Gobi region, which cannot support the survival of large carnivores because of the harsh living environment and the lack of animals, while small carnivores can survive, but they cannot be killed in the face of camel size.

Camels are basically not capable of resisting except for being larger. Not even the horns. The main reason is that his living environment is not suitable for the growth and survival of other large beasts.

The predation success rate of large carnivores is less than 20%, and in arid places, the large carnivore really can't afford to accompany the camel, and if it fails more than twice, it has to wait to die of thirst.

China's camels are mainly in Xinjiang, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia region, that there is no Siberian tiger such a large beast, can pose a threat to camels are mainly wolves and wild dogs, and can only deal with small camels or old, weak, sick and disabled camels, whether it is wolves or wild dogs attack camels only a little longer, herdsmen must find that wolves and wild dogs do not report the ability to take camels, so they want to eat only small animals such as stealing sheep can be sure.

Herbivores basically have natural predators. Camels are no exception, wild camels are scarce, the growth environment is harsh, this is the case in the great northwest region of China, only wolves are its natural enemies. The environment in which the camel lives determines the quantity and quality of its natural predators.

There are no living conditions for large carnivores in the harsh environment of the desert Gobi, and it is estimated that there is no living space for camels if they are placed in the African grassland.
