The food that camels eat depend on whether they are domesticated, feral or living in zoos. In the wild, camels will eat just about anything as it is very hard to find food. They eat plants, dried leaves, seeds, bones, fish meat and even leather! Domesticated camels (those raised by people) are usually fed dates, grass, wheat and oats. In zoos, camels are fed hay and dry grass- about 3.5 kilograms of food everyday!

Camels can go for a long time without food and water, which is how they survive in deserts!

They mostly eat grass and whatever other animals they seem suitable. They also eat cactus, if there aren't any grass.
