## Caption

Bactrian camels, also known as Mongolian camels, are well adapted to harsh desert environments 🐫 

During a sandstorm, their long eyelashes protect their eyes, and their narrow nostrils close off. They are also known to be the only land mammals who can drink salt water without becoming ill!
