Bactrian Camel

Bactrian camels are two -humped creatures with shaggy coats which help them endure the cold. Domesticated (and possibly wild) Bactrian camels are found in relatively cooler regions with low precipitation and thorny, dry plant life. If your milieu has an analogue to the Silk Road, Bactrian camels are likely to be found as beasts of burden along it, because they are better at withstanding cold and high altitudes. A male Bactrian camel can carry up to 1,000 pounds for a short period, or 700 pounds for an extended period, although a 400 pound load is more sustainable in the long term. A Bactrian camel can be used for 6 hours a day without fatiguing it.
