Old camels sold 100 kilometers home alone! What exactly happened? Does it have predators in the desert?

Camel is a very drought-tolerant animal in the desert, which is raised in Inner Mongolia and other northwest regions. Recently, the news of an old camel walking 100 kilometers home alone after being sold attracted everyone's attention, so what exactly happened? Does it have natural enemies in the desert?

First, after the old camel is sold, walk 100 kilometers home alone! What exactly happened?

Last fall, a herdsman in Inner Mongolia sold an elderly camel in his family to another herdsman. The camel was on its way home on June 27 this year because it was unaccustomed to soil and water and missed its hometown. Along the way, it trekked across mountains and rivers, crossed the fence and the highway, walked more than 100 kilometers, was covered with scars, and was pulled back by its new owner. On July 8, the original owner of the camel was so moved that he replaced it with a three-year-old mother camel and decided to raise it until he was old.

Do camels have natural enemies in the desert?

Relatively speaking, the camel's body is also relatively tall, which is very prominent in the desert, which is different from other desert animals. Other animals are petite, so camels have no natural enemies, and the only threat is wolves. But although wolves are social animals, they are poor in food in the desert, so the size of the wolves is small, and the threat to camels is limited.

How much is the price of a camel?

The price of camel is 5000-15000 yuan per camel. Camels are divided into two kinds, unimodal camels with one hump and bimodal camels with two humps, of which the unimodal camel is larger and can run and walk in the desert. Camel body hair is generally brown, but there are also camels with light yellow, gray and other color types; its head has tufts and its body hair is fluffy and long; the hump is fat and plump, and a thick hair remains after depilation in summer; its limbs are stout, and its hooves are wide and flat. Bactrian camels were widely domesticated in northern China and can still be seen in Inner Mongolia and Northwest China.

The reason why this old camel can travel hundreds of miles home alone is also the reason why it can endure hunger and thirst. After drinking enough water, it can not drink water for several days, and it can still move and move in the hot and dry desert. As for the camel, which was picked up by its original owner, I hope it can be well taken care of for the rest of the time.
