The Wild Bactrian Camel is a large mammal, living in the Deserts of Gobi and Taklamakan. It is the ancestor of the Bactrian camel, and like its descendant, has two humps, is found living in remote deserts, and has a large dewlap. It is taller and leaner than the domesticated Bactrian camel and has smaller humps. The Wild Bactrian Camel is endangered due to competition for water with domestic herds, and there are now fewer than 2,000 individuals.
