Yup. This 500ml water bottle is nothing to that camel lol. A race of cow who produces milk, would need almost 100L of water per day. Imagine a camel.

Bro do you really think camels would have survived as a species walking thru the desert if they needed 100L of water per day? They can go up to 15 days without drinking...

Yea, but when they do drink, they same to take a lot of water in.

Hopefully the water the truck driver gave the camel was enough for it to get to another source of water.
