China: Bactrian camels and rider near Lake Karakul on the Karakoram Highway, Xinjiang. The Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) is a large even-toed ungulate native to the steppes of central Asia. It is presently restricted in the wild to remote regions of the Gobi and Taklimakan Deserts of Mongolia and Xinjiang, China.
