I became interested in knowing more about the "camels" from the movie "The Weeping Camel". I found out that these camels are called Bactrian Camels technically. The scientific name is "Camelus bactrianus" . This type has two humps on the back while its cousins Dromedary Camel (Camelus dromedarius) has only one. The latter is also called Arabian camels. Below are facts. enjoy.
The Bactrian Camel (Camelus bactrianus) is a large even-toed ungulate native to the steppes of eastern Asia. The Bactrian camel has two humps on its back, in contrast to the Dromedary, also known as the Arabian Camel, which has one.
The Dromedary Camel (Camelus dromedarius) (often referred to simply as the "Dromedary") is a large even-toed ungulate native to northern Africa and western Asia, also the land of east Africa, Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia.
