The different types of camel are:

1. Bactrian camels are well suited for cold climates with rugged terrain. With their shorter legs and stout bodies they can walk over slippery surfaces that dromedary camels can't handle.

2. F1 hybrid camel are half-Dromedary and half-Bactrain cross. F1 hybrids are the largest camels and make for good draft animals, They have one large hump on their backs.

3. F2 Hybrid Bactrian camel, 3/4-Bactrain 1/4-Dromedary. Like the Bactrian camel they can walk over ice, mud, snow, and slippery surfaces. A good all around camel that can handle steep rocky mountain trails.

4. Snow-white Dromedaries- They are faster and can travel more miles in a day than the Bactrain camel. Good in deserts, flat land or rolling hills, not good on slippery surfaces.

5. Black Camels - are more rare than white camels. These beautiful black dromedaries are bred for show and their beauty. Some places consider them to be adverse and bad luck
