Oh....a little camel info...if you're interested....

These two-hump camels are known as "Bactrian" and are much less common than dromedary (one-hump) camel. They're native to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and aside from the obvious difference of the number of humps, Bactrian Camels differ in a few other key ways. For example, the Bactrian camel grows a thick coat of hair each winter which falls off every spring. This heavy coat and shedding process helps them deal with the extreme variation of temperature in the Gobi desert where summer highs often top 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and winter months can see significant amounts of snow. Also Bactrian camels are generally much more mild-mannered than their hot-tempered dromedary kin. Estimates for the number of Bactrian camels in North America range from about 400-800 head.
