REVIEWED BY: P. Grubb (PG).
TYPE LOCALITY: "Bactria" (= U.S.S.R., Uzbekistan, Bokhara) (domesticated stock) .
DISTRIBUTION: Exists in the wild only in S.W. Mongolia, Kansu, Tsinghai, and Sinkiang ( China)(SW); domesticated in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, U.S.S.R., Mongolia, and China.
COMMENT: Includes ferus Przewalski, 1883, based on wild specimen; bactrianus Linnaeus, 1758 , has priority (IUK). Produces fertile hybrids with dromedarius ; though their distributions merge, breeding is regulated (as all individuals are domesticated in the zone of contact) (IUK). Corbet, 1978:197, citing Gray, 1954, stated that male hybrids are sterile.
PROTECTED STATUS: U.S. ESA - Endangered as C. ferus (= bactrianus ).
ISIS NUMBER: 5301419004001001001.
