Yes. Most camels are domesticated. But the Australian feral [Camelus dromedarius] and the Bactrian [Camelus bactrianus] live in the wild. The latter is on the top 10 critically endangered species list, because of the effects of development and drought in the Gobi desert. For camels risk being the prey of human hunters for clothing, food, and sport. In addition, and particularly in the Gobi, wolves linger around watering holes to finish off camels, whose meat has been a known delicacy since the time of the ancient Persians. Bactrian camels also are vulnerable to attacks when brown bears and snow leopards drop by.
