Bactrian camels have two humps that store fat, which can be converted to energy and water when sustenance is scarce.
They can withstand extreme temperature variations, ranging from freezing cold to blistering heat.
Bactrian camels can drink up to 57 liters (15 gallons) of water in a single session when water becomes available.
Their thick, woolly coats provide insulation against both cold and heat, and they shed this coat during warmer months.
Bactrian camels are critically endangered in the wild, with habitat loss and hunting being major threats.
They have tough mouths that allow them to eat thorny and salty plants that other animals avoid.
