Wild Bactrian Camel

Back then one of the very, very few Wild camels in captivity

Summer 2006
There are also wild camels in Urumuqi Zoo, Xinjiang, northwest China. And there are some wild camels in Wuwei Zoo, Gansu Province, northwest China, too, but it is said that all their wild camels are contaminated by domestic camels. And this one in Beijing Zoo was captured in Inner Mongolin; it is the sixth wild camel kept in Beijing Zoo.

Is it just the Wuwei camels that are contaminated or both the Wuwei and Urumuqi camels. If not, how many Wild Bactrians are at Urumuqi and are they breeding them?

The Zakhyn-Us Sanctuary in Mongolia is said to have about 15 individuals and working to breed them.

Camels in Wuwei are contaminated, Urumuqi has a camel caught in the wild, but they fail to get another pure -blood wild camel.
