Fast Facts
The scientific name of the Bactrian camel is Camelus bactrianus.

They are mammals, which means they are warm blooded, and their young babies survive on the mothers milk until they are old enough to eat plants and shrubs.

They are herbivores, meaning they eat plants.

Baby camels are born with their eyes open and can run when only a few hours old.

Like a lamb they call their mothers with a "baa"..

Like their grown up mom's and dads' they can store 80 lbs (36 kg) of fat in their humps.


There are two different kinds of camels, Bactrian camels that have two humps on their backs where they store fat. Dromedaries have only one hump, and are commonly called Arabian camel,. but both these types of camels use their stored fat that sits in their hump(s) as energy and water when they are far away from food and a source of water..

The only truly wild camels that still exist are Bactrian camels. These herds survive in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and China, but number less than 400. They are critically endangered in the wild.
Camels can endure long-distance trips without water in very harsh desert conditions, camels stay cool, because their fat is stored only in their humps
Their humps get soft and flabby when their fat stores run out. Camels rarely sweat, helping them conserve fluids for long periods of time in the hot desert.

In the cold of winter, plants help yield enough moisture to sustain a camel without water for several weeks. When camels do refill, however, they soak up water like a sponge. A very thirsty animal can drink 30 gallons (135 liters) of water in only 13 minutes.


 

 

 

 

Bactrian camels can live up to 50 years in the wild.

They can weigh about 1,800 lbs (816 kg).

They have been used as pack animals, transportation, and clothing for 6,000 years.

Camels sometimes spit or kick when they are threatened.


In the Gobi Desert, Bactrians group together around mountain areas where snow and springs provide water in the winter.

Bactrian camels live in Central and East Asia's rocky deserts where it gets very cold in winter and hot in the summer. Temperatures can be over 100 degrees F (38 degrees C) in summer and drop to -20 degrees F (-29 degrees C) in winter.

Because they store fat only in their humps, they have developed special adaptations to help them to survive in such a harsh environment. They have a thick, shaggy coat that protects them in winter and sheds as seasons change and temperatures rise. This is called molting. Camel fur is used to make clothing.

Bactrian Camels are not as tall as dromedaries and are about 6.5 feet (2 meters) tall. Dromedaries have much longer legs. All camels have wide-toed hoofs with nails and big, flat footpads to keep them from sinking into snow or sand. Bactrians have rough feet for crossing rocky deserts of Asia.

Camels move both legs on one side of the body forward at the same time, like giraffes and race horses. This is called pacing. They walk at about 3.5 mph (5.5 kph) and cannot run for long distances.

Like Giraffes, Camels have long necks so they can reach high branches the the leaves and bunds, and so they can dip their heads to drink and graze without having to bend their legs. They chew the cud or ruminate their food the way cows do.

When its windy, Bactrians' nostrils close to block sand, and their bushy eyebrows and two rows of long eyelashes protect their eyes from blowing sand and ice.

The only truly wild camels that still exist are Bactrian camels. These herds survive in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and China, but number less than 400. They are critically endangered in the wild.

WEBBY WANDA'S DRAWNG TIPS:
What are graphite drawing pencils? Graphite drawing pencils are pencils specially designed for drawing, as opposed to the writing pencils that are in common use. Graphite drawing pencils are made with graphite, which is also called black lead or plumbago, mixed with clay. They come rated by hardness: the more clay mixed with the graphite, the harder the pencil; the more graphite, the softer. Many famous artists have sketched and drawn with graphite. Ingres, Miró, Eakins, Cézanne, Delacroix, and Rodin are among many who drew with graphite alone or used it in combination with other media.

Hardness of Graphite Drawing Pencils. There are two pencil-rating systems, a US one and a European one. The US system is numerical, while the European system, based on a lettering scheme, is the one generally used for artist’s pencils. The European rating system works like this:pencils are rated for hardness (H), blackness (B), and whether they have a fine point (F). 9B is simultaneously the softest and darkest rating; 9H is both hardest and lightest. There are twenty ratings of graphite drawing pencils in the full range, though many manufacturers offer sets with a range of only 18, or selected pencils from within the entire range.

9B 8B 7B 6B 5B 4B 3B 2B B HB F H 2H 3H 4H 5H 6H 7H 8H 9H
