Itâs not the earliest known code of laws. Hammurabiâs dictates are often cited as the oldest written laws on record, but they were predated by at least two other ancient codes of conduct from the Middle East.
The Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) is a large, even-toed ungulate native to the steppes of Central Asia. Of the two species of camel, it is by far the rarer. The Bactrian camel has two humps on its back, in contrast to the single-humped dromedary camel.
Of course, you can't talk about these animals without saying a few words about how camels store water and their signature humps. The easiest way to tell the two camel species apart is by counting the number of humps. Dromedary camels, which are the more abundant species, have a single hump; Bactrian camels have two. If you were to slice off a hump from a healthy camel and put it on a scale, it might weigh up to 80 pounds (36 kilograms).
