Bactrian
- two hump
- Cold climates Much more northern climate than the dromedary including the Siberian steppe and the cold, arid deserts of Central and Eastern Asia. In the winter, temperatures in their native habitat can drop as low as –29° Celsius (–20° F).
- long, shaggy coat that helps protect them in the cold winter months. They shed their long fur in the summer, when they are faced with high temperatures
- typically dark brown to beige in coloring,
- wide feet that facilitate walking across snow and sand, but their feet are tougher and can stand up to their more rocky environment
- one or two babies (although one is much more common) and continue nursing them for up to a year and a half. The young aren’t completely independent until they’re five years old, thought they can bear young of their own between three and five years.
- Much rarer, severely threatened in the wild
The domesticated Bactrian camel has served as a pack animal in inner Asia since ancient times. With its tolerance for cold, drought, and high altitudes, it enabled travel such as the caravans of the Silk Road.The wild form has dwindled with limited remaining populations. ts range in the wild is restricted to remote regions of the Gobi and Taklamakan Deserts of Mongolia and China, migrating from the desert to rivers in Siberia during winter. A small number of wild Bactrian camels still roam the Mangystau Province of southwest Kazakhstan and the Kashmir valley in India. There are feral herds of Bactrian camels in Australia.
The two types are sometimes bred together, producing an even bigger, stronger camel useful for plowing and other work. Camel wrestling (a sport where male camels are exposed to an in heat female and then allowed to fight each other) almost exclusively uses cross bred camels.
Recent research suggests that wild camels may be another species, possessing a different number of chromosomes.

All camelids eat vegetation, including pretty much anything they can find. In their natural habitat food can be very scarce.

The domesticated alpaca and llama are not endangered. They have been exported to many countries in the world and in the US and Canada at least, supply exceeds demand.
Both under the rule of the Inca and today, vicuñas have been protected by law, but they were heavily hunted in the intervening period. Before being declared endangered in 1974, only about 6,000 animals were left. Today, the vicuña population has recovered to about 350,000, and although conservation organizations have reduced its level of threat classification, they still call for active conservation programs to protect populations from poaching, habitat loss, and other threats. The species is listed as Least Concern.
Hunting was also an issue for the guanaco but similar conservation efforts resulted in the species being listed least concern. Estimates, as of 2011, place their numbers at 400,000 to 600,000. They have only one natural predator, the mountain lion. A few hundred guanaco are held in zoos and on farms successfully.

Jesus is talking about the difficulty of a proud or rich person to get into heaven. For 1500 years or more there has been a story that Jesus was talking about a small gate in the city wall that the camels had a hard time with. In other words it is difficult but not impossible. However, The Wycliffe Bible Commentary debunks this: "The idea that the eye of a needle, referred to here, was a small gate through which a camel could enter only on his knees is without warrant." "The word for needle [in Greek] refers specifically to a sewing needle. Furthermore, Jesus was not talking about what man considers possible, but about what seems to be impossible (cf. v. 27)." (The Wycliffe Bible Commentary)
The young man put his money ahead of allegiance to God or willingness to follow Jesus. It is not fair to say that money keeps everyone out of heaven, for the Bible is filled with righteous rich people (David, Esther, Soloman, Job, Abraham and more).
This answer is just an example. Pathfinders are urged to study this what others have written about this much debated passage for themselves and put it in their own words.
