Is this really the case?

Camel can definitely be called a magical species, and the magical operation is wave after wave! The most talked about is the balls spit out of its mouth. This meat ball is pink and tender, looks tight and full of saliva, making people feel urge to vomit at a glance. So what is this meat ball? First of all, this meat ball is very large. Many people say it is the stomach of a camel, but if it is the stomach, it is impossible to enter the mouth through the esophagus and then spit it out of the body. Secondly, it is not difficult to find through observation that it is more like a balloon than a tumor, which can be easily spit out and sucked back into the mouth. What kind of tumor can make camels so picky?
Scientifically proved that this meat ball is indeed not a tumor or a stomach. It is the camel's "big baby". Camels have to rely on it to flirt with girls. There has been even a rumor in that circle: whoever spits out the biggest ball of meat is the most beautiful one. This kind of meat ball is only available for male dromedary camels and is a symbol of masculinity of adult male camels. Once the male dromedary camel finds the object he likes, it will spit out the ball and attract the "sister" on the opposite side. The girl opposite will also judge whether it will be his own based on the size, color, elasticity, etc. of the little brother's mouth! So how did such an important treasure be formed?
sarcoma in the mouth of a camel is a special organ in the throat of a male camel. Arabic is called Dulla ( dula) . It is part of the upper palate tissue that can be inflated to form an airbag. When a male camel is in estrus, the gas will enter the pharynx, and the meat ball will be spit out like an inflatable balloon. When not in use, the gas in the airbag will automatically dissipate, and the airbag will naturally retract back into the mouth. Of course, there are times when you can't shrink back.
Do you know? In order to obtain more mating rights, males will not only show their male traits, but also frequently solve problems through fists. During the battle, the big airbag in his mouth became the target of the opponent's attack. Once these balls are injured, it is difficult to have the ability to telescope freely. If the injury is very serious, it must be removed. Although this will not have much impact on the camel's physical health and fertility, since there is no capital to attract the opposite sex, the camel is likely to die alone in the following days. This meat ball not only allows courtship, but also makes camels turn cactus into delicious artifacts, helping camels digest foods that are difficult for ordinary creatures to digest. The airbag will wrap the cactus in all directions, and soften and decompose the cactus and hard stings through secretions, and then enter the digestive system for digestion and absorption. Camels also tried their best to adapt to the harsh desert environment. So, besides this meat ball, what other magical operations does the camel have?
Camels are not just pink meat balls. Camels are called desert boats. They can be said to be magical species specially created for the harsh desert environment. Generally, creatures will die if they don’t drink water for three days in the desert, but camels are different. They can last for one month under the same conditions. It is reported that in extremely drought states, a camel can drink about 70 liters of water at one time once it encounters a water source. Some camels can even drink up to 186 liters. If you are a human, drinking such a large amount of water in a short period of time is likely to cause water poisoning .But the camel not only won’t get poisoned, but also turns this operation into a life-saving killer.
After research, it was found that there are some very special cell tissues in the stomach and muscles of camels. These tissues are like sponges that can store a large amount of water. Not only that, for better water storage, camel's hemoglobin has evolved into an elliptical shape, thick in the middle and thin at the edges. This structure makes the camel's osmotic pressure particularly stable. Even if the camel drinks a large portion of water, it will not cause osmotic pressure disorder. No one would have thought that camels’ courtship standards were determined by the pink balls in their mouths, and they would have thought that they could actually hold more than 100 liters of water in their bodies!
