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.
