Bactrian Camel in Profile (B&W) at Zoo Miami, Florida

Details best viewed in Original Size.

There are two kinds of camels: the Arabian, or Dromedary camel, which has one hump, and the Bactrian camel, which has two humps. The humps are stores of flesh and fat that can be re-absorbed into the system as nutrition when food is scarce. The Bactrian is native to the steppes of Central Asia. The domesticated Bactrian camel has served as a pack animal in inner Asia since ancient times. With its tolerance for cold, drought, and high altitudes, it enabled travel such as the caravans of the Silk Road. The wild form has dwindled to a population estimated at 800 in October 2002 and has been classified as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Its range in the wild is restricted to remote regions of the Gobi and Taklimakan Deserts of Mongolia and China, migrating from the desert to rivers in Siberia during winter. A small number of wild Bactrian camels still roam the Mangystau Province of southwest Kazakhstan and the Kashmir valley in India. There are also some feral herds of Bactrian camels in Australia.
