Alice The Camel

Photobucket
A Bactrian Camel at London Zoo
This is a photo of a Bactrian camel, and a very handsome one too, even if he does have straw all over his face. Bactrian camels are super fluffy and have two humps, while dromedary camels are less fluffy and only have one. Strangely, although there are over two million Bactrian camels alive today, they are listed as critically endangered because most of these camels are domesticated, and only about 800 still live in the wilds of China and Mongolia.
