　　The Gobi Bactrian Red Camel

　　The Gobi Bactrian Red Camel is a rare species of camel, primarily distributed in the Gobi regions north of the Yin Mountains and south of the China-Mongolia border. Its wool is predominantly purplish-red in color, hence the name “Red Camel.”

　　Gobi Red Camels live on desert grasslands and have strong adaptability to harsh environments. They are highly valuable livestock with multiple uses including wool, meat, hide, milk, and labor. An adult Red Camel yields an average of 4.2 kilograms of wool and 3.57 kilograms of down per year, with a clean wool rate of 63%. As a result, Red Camel down is renowned both domestically and internationally for its long fibers, fine texture, and high yield, and has even won the American “Ambridge Second International Camel Hair Award.” Their body weight ranges from 200 to 450 kilograms, with a slaughter rate of about 5.2%. Camel hooves, humps, and tendons are considered premium delicacies at banquets.
