Bactrian Camel
These camels are actually the predecessor of the common one-humped camels that we see now. They are much rarer to see, but can be found in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia.
Evolution
These camels evolved in extreme temperatures, meaning that they evolved in ways that meant they would survive easier. Their two humps store fat, which breaks down into energy and water (just like the regular, one-humped camels.) They are critically endangered with less than 1,000 left in the wild.
