Lama glama - The llama, pronounced "yama," the alpaca, the vicuña, and the guañaco are members of the camel family. The llama's agility and coarse coat make it well suited for the mountains of South America. Llamas have been used as a pack animal in South America since pre-Columbian times. Llamas originated in North America and migrated into South America three million years ago. The Camelidae family became extinct throughout North America during the last ice age, approximately 11,000 years ago.

Camelus dromedarius - The dromedary camel is native to the Arabian Peninsula. It was domesticated about 4,000 years ago. The dromedary is ideally suited for desert environments: the nostrils narrow or close to conserve water, the eyes feature double eyelashes to keep sand out, and the foot pads spread out wide to support the weight pressing against the soft sand. The most important feature is the hump. The  hump is not used to store water; it serves as a fat reserve when food sources are unavailable.

Bactrian Camel - Turkmenistan

The Karakum Canal is one of the longest canals in the world. Construction began in 1954 and was completed in 1967. Two extensions were added in the 70’s and 80’s, bringing the total length to 1,376 kilometers. It carries water from the Amu-Darya River across the Karakum Desert for irrigation purposes.

Camelus bactrianus - The Bactrian camel, with its two distinctive humps, is much larger than the single-humped dromedary camel. The wild Bactrian camel is a rare sight, but the domesticated version has served an important role to the people living on the steppes of Central Asia. It has a tolerance to cold, adjusts easily to high altitudes, has enough stamina to carry heavy loads for prolonged periods, and it can go for months without direct liquid intake. When they do drink, they can slurp up over 50 liters of water.
