World Camel Day – Bactrian Camel
- (Camelus bactrianus)
- The Bactrian Camel is also known as the Mongolian camel or domestic Bactrian camel.
- It is a large even-toed ungulate native to the steppes of Central Asia.
- This camel species has two humps on its back, in contrast to the single-humped dromedary camel.
- Their nostrils close to block sand, and their bushy eyebrows and two rows of long eyelashes protect their eyes from blowing sand and ice.
- The Camels’ humps store fat as energy and water when they are far away from food and a freshwater source.
