There are currently about 2 million domesticated Bactrian Camels in the world. The remaining Wild Bactrian Camels are on the brink of extinction because domesticated camels are eating their food.
The Wild Bactrian Camel lives only in the Gobi Desert that straddles China and Mongolia. The Wild Bactrian Camel eats plants, including thorny dry plants that other animals do not eat. The lumps on their back store fat which they convert into energy when there is no water or food. Burning this fat causes the lumps to sag.
