With its tolerance for cold, drought, and high altitudes, it enabled travel such as the caravans of the Silk Road. The Bactrian camel is the largest mammal in its native range and rivals the dromedary as the largest living camel. These camels are migratory, and their habitat ranges from rocky mountain massifs to flat arid desert, stony plains, and sand dunes. They are primarily herbivorous. They are able to eat plants that are dry, prickly, salty and/or bitter, and can ingest virtually any kind of vegetation. When other nutrient sources are not available, these camels may feed on carcasses, gnawing on
