The Bactrian camel is a large mammal native to the steppes of Central Asia. This animal has two distinct humps on its back. Most of the two million camels alive today are domestic animals. Their unique name comes from an ancient historical region called Bactria.

People in inner Asia have used these camels as pack animals since ancient times. The sturdy camels easily tolerate extreme cold, deep drought, and high altitudes. This incredible strength allowed caravan workers to travel along the famous Silk Road.

Domestic Bactrain camels are a separate species from truly wild Bactrain camels. They are the largest living camels on earth today. These massive animals can grow up to seven and a half feet tall at the shoulder.

Double Dip, the Bactrian camel male replica, bought a huge blow-up pool for himself and his friends to swim in today. It is all filled up with ice cold water and rubber duckies.

Uno, the dromedary camel skull replica, is the first one to dive into the pool with a huge splash.

Poppy, the Oligocene camel skull replica, did a back flip into the pool and corralled all of the rubber duckies into a corner of the pool to play with.

Retro, the Yesterday’s camel skull replica, noticed a water snake in the pool and ran for his life into Double Dip’s house and locked all of the doors.
