The lining of the camel's mouth is very tough, to enable the animal to eat whatever it can digest, when food is scarce. This way, it can eat thorny cactus plants without injuring its mouth

Interesting note: Camels can drink a huge range of water from almost sea saltiness to putrefied water and their liver, and the rest of their body, can take it. For some Bedouin in the old days the only thing they ever drank was camel milk as they used the camels as a kind of filtering system to make water that would kill humans safe to drink in the form of milk (which they continually tell me has Viagra like qualities).
