I love how the person was holding the lemon tantalizingly and the camel was just "no thanks, I'm enjoying the cactus"

This is wildly fascinating to me. I never knew this at all.

I was much more waiting for the reaction on the lemon... it's always fun to watch kids and animals reacting to lemons.

Where I live the wild rabbits eat all our cactuses
SteveTheEgg
This is kinda crazy. See camels originally evolved in North America and this is kinda proof, because cactus are only native to North America. So even though camels haven't been around cactus for about 7 million years, they still possess the natural ability to consume it as a food source.
Fulustreka
Yes, plants ' seeds just go around and envolve in other places.
MickeyCallahan
Well, there are plenty of thorny non-cacti in North Africa and other places camels live.
