Camels

There are two types of camels. The Bactrian, which has only two humps and the Dromedary which has one hump. The Bactrian camel is much shorter and can endure much more extreme temperatures, from hot weather in Iran to freezing temperatures in Tibet. Its wool is much finer than the Dromedary. A male is called a bull, a female is a cow and a baby i called a calf. When calfs are born they weight 40-50kg but when fully grown they can weigh up to 600kgs. These animals can live up to 50 years and reach their full size by the age of 2.
