The wild Bactrian camel is a critically endangered species found in the deserts of Central Asia. Also known as the Mongolian camel, it is the only true wild camel in the world. There are several synonyms for this species, which include the Bactrian dromedary, the Camelus bactrianus ferus, and the Asiatic camel. These camels are well adapted to the harsh desert environment and can survive for long periods without water. However, their population has sharply declined due to habitat loss, hunting, and competition with domesticated camels. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this unique and fascinating animal and its habitat.
