The Arabian camel (single-humped camel) lives in the dry West Asian deserts.

The Bactiran camel (double-humped camel) lives in the harsher Central Asian and Eastern Asian deserts.

90% of the camel population has been domesticated by humans.

Camels were imported to Australia to assist with colonisation by helping humans transport goods over the vast Australian deserts and plains. Because horses struggled in the Australian desert climate. When roads and motorised transport were eventually established in Australia, the camels were released into the Australian wild.

Australian camels are one of the rare examples of wild camels left in the wild, since most herds have been domesticated.

In the 19th century camels were imported to the United States to assist in the US-Mexico war by transporting goods across the harsh American-Mexican deserts, because horses suffered in these environments. Camels were very unpopular with the Americans because they were not used to riding them. The Mexicans also made jokes about Americans with camels, because the Mexicans didn't really understand the camels usefulness compared to horses. Many camels escaped and roamed the American-Mexican deserts.
