Bactrian Camels

I just read the article about the bactrian camels.I think they are cute creatures.
The bactrian camels are mammels, they can live for 50 years and their babies called the mother "Baa".
The bactrian camels can travel for long distance and long time, they don't get hungry or thirsty and they don't sweat because they store food and water in their two humps.
The bactrian camels live in central and east Asia where the weather is too hot in summer and very cold in winter.
Both camels and humans can benefit from the camel fur.For the camels it helps to protect them against harsh weather, and for the humans, they use it to make cloths.
Not only fur protects the camels, also they close their nostril to avoid sand and their long eye lashes protect them from ice and sand.
There is another kind of camels called arabian camels, they have only one hump not two, and they have longer legs.
