A small number of wild Bactrian camels still roam the Mangystau Province of southwest Kazakhstan and Nubra Valley in India.

Any animals living above the snowline are obliged to do this as snow and ice are the only forms of water during winter, and by doing so their range is greatly enlarged. The latent heat of snow and ice is enormous compared with the heat capacity of water, demanding a large sacrifice in heat energy and forcing animals to eat only small amounts at a time. ref http www.omafra.gov.on.ca english livestock beef facts 09 065.pdf Replacing Water with Snow ref Nearly all of the 2 million camels alive today are Domestication domesticated . ref Bactrian Camel.

- Princemarch
Unreferenced date December 2009 Princemarch is a fictional princedom or country in Melanie Rawn s fantasy novels of the Dragon Prince and Dragon Star trilogies . Princemarch is a central Princedom on the Continent and is the traditional seat of the High Prince . Roelstra s Line has ruled this princedom since the ancient times of the diarmadh im , or sorcerers , rule. After the diarmadh im fell from power, they went into hiding in the Veresch Mountains, which cover nearly half of Princemarch. Geography The geography of Princemarch varies from ice capped mountains and thick forests to rich soil in green valleys that can grow nearly anything. The South boasts the cropland and valleys, producing fruits, grains, and vegetables as well as meats, cheese, and nuts. To the east are the Vere Hills, which borders the Desert, then to the north are the Great Veresch Mountains. The mountains rise quickly over the lowlands, the tallest peak covered in snow even through the summer. Lower peaks sprouted conifers, which rose to heights of ten or twenty men with needles the length of an arm. Twinning throughout the mountains, streams flow into lakes of pure water. In the valley meadows flowers of every color grow, sheltered by thick forests. Scattered throughout the forests and above the snowline were jutting granite stones and boulders as well as caves. Dragons Dragon Prince Dragons fly over the southern portion of the princedom and even rest near some of the lakes, such as in Dragon s Rest Valley. Culture The people of Princemarch are typically dark haired with pale skin. The eyes vary in coloring, but many seem to be vividly colored. The mountain folk are often perceived as ignorant or naive, while the more civilized people tend to live in the lowlands as farmers even though if they are glorified ones. Hawking is a sport for the elite of Princemarch, which became widespread in 719 as the birds were sold at the Rialla . This new way of hunting soon became very popular and the sale o ... more details
