🐃Bactrian camel
双峰骆驼（学名：Camelus bactrianus），也叫双峰驼，是一個大型的偶蹄動物，与单峰骆驼不同，有双峰，主要栖息在中亚與土耳其。雙峰駝因其耐寒，耐旱和對高海拔地區的適應力而於中亞長期馴養作馱畜，例如絲綢之路的駱駝商隊。 今天全世界大约有二百萬馴養的双峰骆驼。有少數的野生雙峰駝出沒於哈薩克斯坦西南部的曼格斯套州以及巴基斯坦和印度的克什米爾山谷，並會在冬季從沙漠遷移到西伯利亞的河流，澳洲亦有野化的雙峰駝。 近年发现，分佈在中國和蒙古的野外偏遠地區，包括戈壁和塔克拉瑪干沙漠的野生雙峰駝（Camelus ferus）是另一个独立物种，这两种双峰驼的最后共同祖先大约在110万年前就已经分开演化，2002年10月数据显示大约还有800头野生双峰驼，世界自然保护联盟（IUCN）已将该物种列为极度濒危。
