Those canines are “primarily used to chew up wood and other tough foods” as per one of the articles, but male adult camels may also use those to bite opponents when fighting with each other for territory / mates.
“Someone once described them as a Sarlacc pit from Star Wars” … definitely a fitting description.
Here is a video of an angry camels open mounth and unclipped teeth; https://www.youtube.com/shorts/whsdxuAy37Y … it is VERY ugly tho, view at your own discretion.

I saw a clip of some guy punching a camel in the head, trying to get it to move (or something).
The camel finally snapped at him, got hold of an arm or shoulder, and just ragdolled him, eventually settling in to rip chunks off while pinning his torso.
Saw it too. Nice reference
