The Bactrian Camel

The Bactrian or Asian Camel have a dark , thick , brown coat . they have extremely hard feet which help it to travel around on rocky grounds . It has a short muzzle [ a nose and mouth ] and ears .In the wild there is about 400 and 900 Bactrian Camels still alive . The wild population of Bactrian camels has been seriously reduced in recent years because of intense hunting by humans . Remarkably well adapted to extremes of climates though they are, the camel herds will move from the heat of the stony desert up into the mountainous regions during the hottest months of the year. Here they may be found at heights of 3,000m (10,000ft) or more before they descend back into the desert again with the onset of winter .
