scientific name: Camelus Bactrianus
more information:
The bactrian camel, otherwise known as the double humped camel, can be fund in Northen Asia. Like the single humped camel which can be found in the Middle East, the bactrian camel is able to survive on its own water for long periods of time.
Camels are known to be excellent at their adaptation skills. As their habitat is hot and arid, they need to adapt to withstand the hot sun and the lack of water provided. Thus , camels have humps to store ( no... not water) fats. Their fats can be converted to energy which they can use. When camels find a water source, they drink lots and lots of water.
Bactrian camels are currently critically endangered and their numbers is less than 2000 in Mongolia and China :(
