Endangered Species of the Desert- 44° 0' 0 N, 105° 0' 0 E

The Bactrian Camel

The Bactrian Camel is on the endangered species list and can be found in remote areas of the Gobi and Taklimakan Deserts. Some reasons for their extinction are hunters, competion with domestic animals for water and land, settling of oases by pastoralists, prospecting for oil and gold, and the hybridization with domestic camel stock.
