Domestic Bactrian camel — size comparison — facts and sources

The domestic Bactrian camel has been part of life in Central Asia for thousands of years. It carried people and goods across steppes and deserts, connecting settlements along trade routes. It is distinct from the wild Bactrian camel.

It feeds on grasses, shrubs and other plants in dry landscapes and tolerates large temperature changes. Camels live socially; males compete during the breeding season. A female usually gives birth to one calf, which starts following her early in life and nurses for many months.
