Answer:
- Bactrian camels are critically endangered animals found in the Gobi desert in Asia.
- Despite there being numerous domesticated camels, the Bactrian camel population is less than 1,000, with around 600 individuals in China and 350 in Mongolia.
- Unfortunately the population numbers are decreasing due to several threats. Camels are hunted for their meat by local nearby residents.
- Droughts can affect the camels due to a decrease in water pools making it harder for them to find sources of water.
- Female camels only give birth around every two years, with the pregnancy lasting between 12 and 14 months, so their reproductive rate is fairly slow which makes it difficult for them to recover from the extremely low population numbers.
