Editing Bactrian camel (section)

== Natural habitat ==
These camels are migratory, and their habitat ranges from rocky mountain massifs to flat [[wikt:steppe|steppe]], arid desert, (mostly the [[Gobi Desert]]), stony plains and sand dunes. Conditions are extremely harsh – vegetation is sparse, water sources are limited and temperatures are extreme. The coat of the Bactrian camel can withstand cold as low as {{convert|−30|C|0}} in winter to {{convert|50|C|0}} in summer.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Bactrian Camel |url=https://www.highlandwildlifepark.org.uk/animals-attractions/animals/bactrian-camel/ |access-date=2022-07-15 |website=Highland Wildlife Park |language=en}}</ref> The camels' distribution is linked to the availability of water, with large groups congregating near rivers after rain or at the foot of the mountains, where water can be obtained from springs in the summer months, and in the form of snow during the winter.
