Is camel herbivorous or omnivorous

Answer 1

No. neither the Camel nor the Elephant is omnivores. They are both Herbivores.

Elephants are pure vegetarians. Their diet includes huge quantities of grass and leaves from trees. They are also known to eat fruits and coconut. They are especially fond of Bananas. They are known to eat over 150 kgs of vegetation in a single day.

Camels on the other hand don't eat as much as the elephants but their diet too involves only leaves, grass and other plant materials

Answer 2

Camels are primarily vegetarians.

However, if vegetation is scarce, camels will also eat fish, meat, fabric and leather, including the carcasses of dead, rotting animals in the desert. It is not unheard of for camels to have a munch on or completely eat their owner's tent while camping for the night, if they are not secured tightly far away enough from it.

They prefer and naturally eat vegetation and plants and even have tougher tongues so they can eat harsher plants that most other animals avoid. However they will adapt and eat whatever they can if there is a lack of vegetation.
