The Camel Photostory. Fiber Digestion

Camel has an uncounted number of characteristics, making it a very unique creature. Hardiness is one of the most important special traits of the camel. Camel can thrive on anything when good quality feed is not available, even can consume the bark of the bushes even the woody part.

Camel consumes everything in hardy conditions but chooses the fresh leafy part of the plants in good conditions

The camels are consuming the dried out woody part of a Halloxylon plant in the Sharjah emirate of the UAE.

The picture below was shot in Sharjah emirate by a powerful SLR camera by my son Haris Beryalie. We can see the camel eating the dried out bush, only the dry wood is remaining. Camel pseudo-rumen is highly enriched with extremely diverse micro-organisms the same as the termites have in their stomach. Such specialized microorganisms digest the woody parts of the plants and produce volatile fatty acids for the energy.

Look how the termites have consumed the dry wood branch of the Calitropis bush? Some termites can be seen.

Camel has a wide choice of plants selection. Very few are poisonous for camel and the wise camel always hesitate to eat.

The Camel Photostory. Camels and the Trees

The camel is unique and survives in unique but challenging conditions. Their habitat is composed of sand, resilient vegetation, soaring heat, desert storms, sporadic rains, long sunny days, and little or no water. In spite of such challenging conditions, we expect camel to secure our food supply and ensure our livelihood. One can feel the connection between nature and life in the photograph.

The Nature Connections

This picture was shot on the year’s longest day of June 21, 2020 (Alain, UAE) to highlight the importance of the camel in challenging temperatures. The camel keeper can be seen sitting under the Prosopis tree and the camels, trees, and the sand make together a piece of music played by the wind of the desert.
