What is a Bactrian Camel?
The Bactrian camel is a remarkable mammal known for its two humps and incredible ability to survive in harsh environments. Native to the steppes and deserts of Central Asia, these camels are well-adapted to extreme temperatures, ranging from scorching summers to freezing winters. Their thick, woolly coats keep them warm in the cold and are shed in large tufts when the weather gets hot.
Standing over 7 feet tall at the hump and weighing up to 2,200 pounds, Bactrian camels are the heaviest members of the camel family. Their humps store fat, which can be converted into energy when food is scarce. They have special features like long eyelashes, bushy eyebrows, and nostrils that can close to protect against sand and dust. Their broad, flat feet help them walk on sand and snow without sinking.
Bactrian camels are herbivores, feeding on dry grasses and plants found in their arid habitats. They can survive without water for long periods and, when they do drink, can consume up to 35 gallons at once. In captivity, they can live up to 50 years. These camels have been domesticated for thousands of years, serving as pack animals and providing milk, meat, and wool to the people of Central Asia.
