Big Bactrian Camel Eating Carrot

Camels are able to digest very coarse and non-nutritious food. Bactrian camels eat various shrubby and semi-shrub vegetation in the desert: saltwort, camel thorns, barnyard, green leaf, sand acacia, bitter wormwood, onions, ephedra, young branches of saxaul. With the onset of cold weather in rare oases, animals feed on reeds and poplar leaves. In the absence of basic food sources, Bactrians do not hesitate to skins and bones of dead animals, as well as any products made from these materials.
