Жирафи іноді довше обходяться без пиття, ніж верблюди | Giraffes May Sometimes Go Longer Without Drinking Than Camels
Can giraffes really go longer without drinking than camels? Giraffes may go weeks without drinking free-standing water when they get enough moisture from leaves; camels have also been documented going long periods without drinking, including 17 days on dry feed in one summer study. A direct “which lasts longer” comparison depends on species, climate, diet, and observation conditions, and no reliable controlled head-to-head record was found. So this is not a universal rule that giraffes outlast camels. The illustration was created with AI.
