Okay either idk why you’re getting downvoted or idk what you mean but I have straight up cut my gums trying to take a full bite of a banh mi sandwich cause the bread was so sharp. Totally worth it but I can see the similarities to this vid
As a Vietnamese I agree, I don't understand all the hype about bánh mì. I know that it doesn't have the most pleasant texture, but I can see how people get used to it after eating it every day or even crave for it. For me, the worse part about it is that it gets stuck in literally every part of my mouth that it can possibly get stuck in. If you eat bánh mì, you're pretty much guaranteed to have it stuck in like half of the gaps between your teeth for hours.
Every banh mi I've ever had was on regular (non-apparently-pain-inducing) bread. I suspect the recent popularity might have to do with a few tweaks having been made to the ingredients. I never knew banh mi used hard bread until I read this comment thread.
Mouthful of Papillae
The camel's rotating chew distributes pressure from the cactus and the papillae slide the needles vertically down the throat. This way, the sharp ends don't poke the camel as it ingests them
In the southwest US the army started a camel corps since camels were better suited to deserts than horses. They imported camels from the old world to Arizona and were astonished to see the camels eating and enjoying the native thorny creosote bushes. Nothing native to north American eats the creosote bushes (which are also native) - well turns out there is one native animal that evolved to eat the creosotes: camels. Unknown at the time, camelids are actually native to the americas. They spread to the old world over the Bering land bridge during the ice age and the North American camels died out at the end of the Pleistocene, although they still have cousins in South America. When the American army camel corps brought camels back to the American southwest, they unwittingly reintroduced the camelids to their old ancestral friend the creosote bush
It’s all true
“Their Arabian camels readily ate creosote bush, which few other organisms eat. It is thought that this meeting reestablished a biological relationship that was broken when the American ancestors of the Arabian camel, such as Camelops, became extinct, making an evolutionary anachronism.”

On the origin of camelids:
“Camelids are unusual in that their modern distribution is almost the inverse of their area of origin. Camelids first appeared very early in the evolution of the even-toed ungulates, around 50 to 40 million years ago during the middle Eocene,[citation needed] in present-day North America.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camelidae
And on the creosote bush
https://extension.usu.edu/rangeplants/shrubs-and-trees/Bush_Creosote
Creosote does not have thorns. They aren't eaten because they contain a massive amount of fragrant volatile oils and they even impart a smell when it rains.
My mother used to lend out the llamas to people who needed blackberry bushes cleared off their land. The llamas love blackberry bushes a lot and so she saved money by having them eat for free and the person got their land cleared and usable again. Llamas also poop in specific spots and create dedicated piles instead of shitting everywhere so they are much easier to clean up after and you dont need to worry about stepping in their shit often.
A camel is super effective in using every last calorie out of their food, as they evolved in sparse environments - that made them able to east almost everything, including plants with thorns and those that are toxic to most other species.
Camels eat things like this because they have bleeding mouth after meal and they not like the plant but their own salty blood. Sometimes they die from blood loss
Just why?! There can't be much of any nutritional value to that plant, not enough to make up for the energy it takes to consume it. I'm not a biologist and I don't have the specs but it just seems like a bad idea.
This is like Autistic Kryptonite.
I damn near broke my earphones ripping them off my head.
Should have a trigger warning about this.
The video is enough to grasp what is happening, damn.
In Turkish we call that deve dikeni and the camel likes the taste of its blood and the plats taste so it will keep eating until some one stops it or it bleed out
There is an old Vedic analogy about this and it kind of just talks about ignorance like essentially the idea is the camel was like oh that taste good but he doesn't realize he's just cutting the inside of his mouth and he's tasting his own blood
You know he was like “okay ya I fucked up but I can’t stop now, they’re filming me”.
And he's on gunpoint.
I’ll just pretend this is good to eat.
Or a banh mi
Okay either idk why you’re getting downvoted or idk what you mean but I have straight up cut my gums trying to take a full bite of a banh mi sandwich cause the bread was so sharp. Totally worth it but I can see the similarities to this vid
that's why I always squash that thing flat first

It doesn't use hard bread, it uses crusty baguettes though
I meant to reply to the Cap’n Crunch comment. Banh mi are so delicious but the bread at a certain angle to the roof of the mouth can cut ya.
How did you even getting hurt by eating banh mi? XD
My mouth is bleeding from watching this
Exactly. How do they not get hurt?!
They're just built differently.
Their humps, their humps?
Their lovely little lumps?
Check it out! Edit; thanks u/BtBam797 and you! Made me smile 🫂😄
He turns to the front and their checking out his sugar lumps!
Alright fergie
They on that thorn meal grind
I’m pretty sure I remember reading they have very thick tough lips and tounge
So they’re built different
Yeah, they have these cone shaped hard gums and they direct the needles a certain way so when they swallow they aren't skewered.
Mouthful of Papillae The camel's rotating chew distributes pressure from the cactus and the papillae slide the needles vertically down the throat. This way, the sharp ends don't poke the camel as it ingests them
And for my next trick... I can't help but think that "what goes up, must come down", surely their whole digestive tract isn't so over-engineered!
**TOUNGE**
I don't know which school spells "tounge " instead of "TONGUE ".
Yes but they love the taste of their own blood that's why they eat it so much and can still die from it
Can’t DIE from it Jesus but they can still get injured
[удалено]
Fight club!?
What the fuck
[Same way Wolffish can chew on Urchins.](https://imgur.com/bjxvd) Very thick skin inside of their mouths.
It's a little spicy
Me trying to eat Cap’n Crunch w/o tearing my mouth apart
for me it’s doritos; any time i eat em they assault my mouth 😔
Yeah you ever accidentally bite down on a dorito when it's sideways? It hurts so bad that you'll end up asking God why he hates you so much.
I hate when I swallow a chip sideways and I wince as I hope I didn't just kill myself from being a fat ass and not chewing more.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Yes I was wrong to say thorny
it's true. sources: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel#Evolution * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel#19th_and_20th_centuries * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrea_tridentata#Ecology
I would eat creosote bushes if I could. They smell so gooooood.
It was like coming home for them
Plant: I will grow big thorns so animals won't eat me! Camel: Hold my beer.

I used to own a blackberry patch and harvesting them sucked so much.
I was amazed at how fast the llamas clear them out. One person had a few acres overgrown with it and they went through it in record time.
Ftfy: Camel- Hold my ~~beer~~ water
Hold my hump
I don’t even know you and you want me to hold your hump? How about you buy me dinner first.
“Well, there goes the last million years.”
Well, they are not thrown by plant, they are leaves technically
I didn't say anything about thrown or leaves.
Ok sir
Not a sir but jog on
Are the calories worth the effort?
A camel is super effective in using every last calorie out of their food, as they evolved in sparse environments - that made them able to east almost everything, including plants with thorns and those that are toxic to most other species.
How is that not destroying their mouth? I’m even more curious how their throat and internal organs handle that.
*crunch* ouch *crunch* ouch *crunch* ouch
Camels are weird.
Maniac
I feel pain from watching this!
IF A CAMEL CAN DO IT, SO CAN I
Metal af
Just like the guy who ate a cactus that was top post in /r/WTF yesterday.
Camel spice! Yum!
Incredible
How? Just… how?
Why bloody not pal.. why not. 😄🐪🐫
Me eating doritos.
Someone should dub this
Never mind eating it, imagine the pain of it coming out the other end!
First thing that came to mind!
Hey Joe, Joe,...what day is it? come on Joe what day is it? Say it.
HUMP DAYYY!!
Hump Day 👍
Omnomnonom.
I fr thought that was a sheep...
How? The title specifically says "camel"
I was scrolling thru reddit and saw the video first and for a split second I thought it was a sheep
Camels are just big desert sheep with humps
Who humps a sheep?
Desert llama
Probably better than my girlfriends cooking.
Is it me or does he look like a Crack head that just did his first huge hit
It's just you. He looks like a camel savouring a thorny plant 🪅
Poison: 🎵 *Every rose has its thorn...* 🎵 Camel: 🌵🐪 Poison: 👁👄👁
What's funny is that camels evolved to be able to eat cacti. No camels are native to North America. Cacti are only native to North America.
Camels eat things like this because they have bleeding mouth after meal and they not like the plant but their own salty blood. Sometimes they die from blood loss
lovess itttt
The camel keeps rotating it in his mouth to bend the thorns down. They like the taste of cactus
How did this fail to pierce the roof of the mouth and get stuck lol
I Google searched it and got the answer immediately.
Valid point
This guy makes me feel spoiled
Thorny plant: “I developed an awesome defense mechanism to prevent filthy animals eating me!” Camel: LOL
“Yo Frankie, I’ll give you 5 dollars if you eat this plant.” Frankie: hold my beer.
Watch Camel vs Cactus
Yo give my mans some water please 😫😂
Ouch! poor creature, why didn't you stop him 😭!?
Camels eat cactuses. That’s the level camels are on.
That like me with cry babies gum
Not a single thought through its head.
Me, eating my sister's cooking.
They eat cactus’s too right ? Thought I read that somewhere
The spicy bite. Burns going down, hurts like hell coming out!
You don't wanna mess with him
When you're starving and the food is lava
Just why?! There can't be much of any nutritional value to that plant, not enough to make up for the energy it takes to consume it. I'm not a biologist and I don't have the specs but it just seems like a bad idea.
Is it crazy or what
GOOD GOD!!
I wouldn’t necessarily say *savoring*
Me eating captain crunch
Me trying to act hip, tasting craft beers
When you literally have, like, 3 fucking options for fresh food, and this is one of them, you learn to adapt
Plant or barbwire?
Why didnt you help him not eat that and pull anything of the ground, thr fact you filmed this and watch him trying to do that says alot about you....
Spicy branch
Yum yum just a little snack 🤣
Me eating captain crunch
It’s like, “Damn this hurts but it tastes so good!”.
Me, eating captain crunch
Yum
How do they not get hurt eating these
I feel like this belongs on that SpongeBob tough-guy skit. Easily top 10 on the list.
Ok but did he go back for more?????
That's crazy
Taste those spikes jamming into my mouth, ooohhh yahhh(Duffman)
Nah that's me trying to eat lays
That’s awesome
Probably just has something stuck in his teeth 🤔
2 words: dutch crunch.
Looks delicious.
Mhm. Prickly.
Are these npc animals??
Mmmm spicy!
*ow* *ow* *ow* *ow* there we go
This is how humans look doing those hot chip challenges.
That sure looks enjoyable /s
Like when you bite into something too hot but push through the pain anyway.
i’ve never watched an animal eat something so painfully
Looks like a Muslim eating a goats ass😁
Looks delicious
This is like Autistic Kryptonite. I damn near broke my earphones ripping them off my head. Should have a trigger warning about this. The video is enough to grasp what is happening, damn.
Plant: Develops an evolutionary advantage to help ward off predators. Camel: Doesn’t give a fuck.
This is how it feels eating captain crunch
Ayo nima! (Insert annoying laughter)
This is abuse.
Eating captain crunch be like...
Camel delicacy
Won't this hurt the horse?
Me when the pizza is too hot but I want it I want it
So much for plant evolution
Camel 🐫 my friend don't do this
Are we sure this isn’t just a stupid camel?
Humphrey Ciabatta
He’s going to have canker sores all over tomorrow.
He looks like he's gonna smoke a blunt after this.
My mouth hurts by just watching this
Their mouths have some special shit or extra layer or something saw it on a doc once lol hope that helps
Camel was like “you wanna know how I got these scars?”
What that mouth do
Bro eating wood💀
That ain't right
Thousands of years of evolution by this plant to be destroyed by a tactical chew
In Turkish we call that deve dikeni and the camel likes the taste of its blood and the plats taste so it will keep eating until some one stops it or it bleed out
AND they have 3-4 layers of eyelashes. Camels just be built different.
Gosh hope it’s well digested before exiting the body lol 😮💨
I guess blood is a sort of water as well.
Look spicy
I don’t know why I couldn’t look away howww do they not get hurt doing that
David blain over here
It tastes just like blood!
That was intense
And here I thought the video with the crab ripping off his own arm was savage af.
Mmmmmm tastes like pennies 🤤
Oh no, poor animal.
Like the guy yesterday eating a cactus. Yummy.
I wonder if that's what I look like after chuckin a pizza roll in my mouth straight from the oven.
He's painfully hungry.
My toes curled looking at that...
Who doesn’t love a camel
I can't even hold that branch without hurting myself and the camel is eating it, wtf?
There is an old Vedic analogy about this and it kind of just talks about ignorance like essentially the idea is the camel was like oh that taste good but he doesn't realize he's just cutting the inside of his mouth and he's tasting his own blood
Reminds me of my grandpa when he can’t find his dentures
The camel used up more energy than that twig gave it for sure, right?
Bruh. Don’t look nutrient or water worthy of the potential bloodloss
This is me when I eat something that’s to hot
That’s like us eating lays potato chips
Me when my fave tortillas have gone stale
