Camels protect themselves from predators by regurgitating their stomach contents mixed with saliva in a projectile fashion. This practice is commonly referred to as spitting. According to the San Diego Zoo, when camels spit, it is meant to startle and distract potential predators.
Camels can survive up to 30 days without food and up to two weeks without water. The tongue and mouth of a camel is very leathery and strong. This means that camels can eat thorny vegetation that most other mammals avoid. Camels have long eyelashes which protect their eyes from sand.
