* Individual Camel: Some camels may be able to go longer than others.
* Climate: Hot, dry conditions can make it harder for them to go without food.
* Water Availability: If they have access to water, they can go longer without food.
* Body Condition: A well-nourished camel can go longer than a thin camel.
Generally speaking, a camel can survive for several weeks without food if they have access to water.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
* Up to 15 days: With access to water, a healthy camel can survive without food for about 15 days.
* Longer periods: In some cases, camels have been known to survive for even longer periods, up to a month or more, but this is rare and they will be very weak.
It's important to note: While camels are incredibly resilient, going without food for extended periods is still stressful on their bodies. They will lose weight and become weaker.
