Living in the wild?  The Bactrian camel is a domestic animal, and has been for a long time.  It's not quite as absurd as talking about the number of Herefords or Jerseys living in the wild, but the comparison is not entirely off the mark.

The problem is the camel was entirely a beast of burden on Asian overland trade routes.  NOt only has it been replaced by trucks and trains, but overland Asian trade has not exactly been booming since the end of the silk road.

Come on...it's cute and cuddly. How can history and reality play a part in the story?

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
