Dromedary camels have only one hump. Many think the humps contain water, when actually they contain fat rich with dissolved minerals. Because only an estimated 1,000 Bactrian camels still live in their native range, they are considered an endangered species. However, the majority of the estimated 1.5 million domestic camels of China and Mongolia are domesticated Bactrian camels. Domestic camels are used for transportations, milk, meat, hides, and wool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"t-body\">Jack (born February 2014) lives outdoors year around, and loves the snow, ice, and cold. He will chew on ice that may have frozen in his water tank overnight. Camel\u2019s hair grows out over the winter into a beautiful coat, which he will begin shedding in May.
