Bactrian Camel – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Bactrian Camel:
The Bactrian Camel is a large, even-toed ungulate native to the cold, barren steppes of Central Asia. While the species has been widely domesticated and there are thought to be over 1,000,000 on the planet, there are only small, isolated populations in remote areas of the Gobi Desert that are wild. The IUCN has the Bactrian Camel on their Red List, and it is considered critically endangered. This camel is liklely the ancestor of all domestic two-humped camels. It is well adapted to the harsh conditions of the Gobi Desert, which is one of the driest, coldest places on earth. These camels can survive through droughts and when food is extremely scarce. Camels are the only land animals that can drink salt or brackish water with no ill effects.

Artist’s notes:
The Bactrian Camel was completed on 4.8.2011. I recall the Minnesota Zoo getting these animals, because the climate in the state closely resembles the cold, dry deserts these camels come from. Recently, we saw a show where a young Bactrian Camel was cavorting in a private zoo. I recalled my friend Warren Lynn had an excellent photo of one of these animals in his image library. I used that to create this drawing. With this, I’ve completed drawings of both extant camel species (the other being the Arabian Dromedary.

An adult male or "buck" generally grows to weigh from 150-300 pounds. The female "does" weigh less, on average about 100-175 pounds.

Musk Ox – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Musk Ox:
The Musk Ox is part of the Bovidae family that is native to the arctic regions of North America and Greenland. It has been successfully re-introduced into areas of Alaska, where the population was wiped out during the last 19th century. They are large animals, standing 3-4 feet tall and weighing up to 700 pounds. Musk Ox are social and tend to live in large herds of roughly 10-20 individuals, but in larger herds that number can be as high as 70. Musk Oxen can be domesticated, and the yarn from their wool is very desirable, as well as their meat and milk.
