Camels are mammals that are well-suited for living in
desert conditions. They eat low-lying vegetation like
grasses and thorny plants, and have split upper lips that
help them eat these plants. There are two types of
camels: the one-humped dromedary and the two-
humped Bactrian camel . Dromedary camels live in North
Africa and the Middle East, while Bactrian camels live in
Central Asia . Wild Bactrian camels live in south Mongolia
and northern China
