The Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus), also known as the domestic Bactrian camel or Mongolian camel, is a large, even-toed ungulate native to the Central Asian steppes. Distinguished by its two prominent humps, this hardy animal is perfectly adapted to extreme environments, thriving in the arid deserts of Mongolia, China, and surrounding regions. Unlike its one-humped cousin, the dromedary, the Bactrian camel has evolved to withstand freezing temperatures as well as the scorching heat of the desert. Often referred to as the "ship of the desert," Bactrian camels have been used for thousands of years by nomadic peoples for transportation, carrying heavy loads across vast distances. Their long, thick coat, particularly in the winter months, protects them from harsh conditions, while their ability to conserve water and regulate body temperature enables them to survive without regular access to fresh water for long periods. In addition to their remarkable survival skills, Bactrian camels are known for their gentle and docile temperament, making them ideal for working alongside humans. Historically, they played a significant role in trade along the ancient Silk Road, facilitating the exchange of goods and cultures across Asia. Today, Bactrian camels are still used for transport, milk production, and even wool harvesting, prized for their soft, insulating undercoat. While once widespread, the population of wild Bactrian camels has dwindled, and they are now listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). With their resilience and unique traits, Bactrian camels continue to be an important part of the cultural and ecological landscape of Central Asia. They are sometimes also called Mongolian camels or Central Asian camels, emphasizing their connection to the region.
