Question

These camels have two humps and have shaggy coat, which helps them keep out the bitter cold wind of the Mongolian desert where they live. What are these camels called?

• A. Bactrians
• B. Llamas
• C. Alpacas
• D. Dromedary

Answer 1

The correct option is A Bactrians

• The Bactrian camel is native to China and Mongolia. The animal has been domesticated, however, and can be found throughout Asia.
• The species' thick, brown coat changes with the seasons. During winter, it thickens to provide added insulation against the cold while large chunks of fur are shed in the summer to keep the animal cool.
• Both male and female Bactrian camels have two large humps on their backs.
