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.
A camel is an even-toed ungulate within the genus Camelus, bearing distinctive fatty deposits known as humps on its back. The two surviving species of camel are the dromedary, or one-humped camel (C.dromedarius), which inhabits the Middle East and the Horn of Africa; and the bactrian, or two-humped camel (C. bactrianus), which inhabits Central Asia.he term camel is derived via Latin and Greek (camelus and ÎºÎ¬Î¼Î·Î»Î¿Ï kamÄlos respectively) from Hebrew or Phoenician gÄmÄl. The Hebrew meaning of the word gÄmÄl is derived from the verb root g.m.l, meaning (1) stopping, weaning, going without; or (2) repaying in kind.
