Camels eat cacti and desert prickles. Sometimes they scavenge on the bodies of small dead mammals. They do not need water because their humps are full of water for their long walks backwards and forwards across the desert. (Camels do not actually have the ability to walk backwards, however). If they are startled they can jump up to two feet in the backwards direction
