There are three types of camels in the world: dromedary camels, Bactrian camels, and wild Bactrian camels.
Contrary to popular belief, camels store fat instead of water in their humps.
They have three eyelids and two sets of eyelashes to keep out the sand and extra thick lips for eating thorny plants.
Camels move around in herds where the numbers can go up to as many as thirty individuals.
A camel can drink as much as 26 gallons of water in ten minutes.
Bactrian Camels can carry up to 440 pounds in a day whereas Arabian camels can do 220.
The number of Wild Bactrian Camels is as low as 1000 and is expected to decrease by as much as 80% in the next 45 to 50 years.
