animal bactrian camel desert hump two two-hump

What 🐫 means

A Bactrian camel, the two-humped kind from the cold deserts and steppes of Central Asia. In chat it simply means "camel" for most people.

Travelers use it for trips to Mongolia or the Gobi, and quiz lovers use it to show off which camel has two humps. Like 🐪, it gets sent on Wednesdays as a "hump day" greeting.

A common memory trick: a Bactrian's capital B lies on its side with two bumps, and a Dromedary's D has one.
