"Thank you very much for clearing that up. but No, that is not correct. The scientific name for the Bactrian camel is Camelus bactrianus. Oreocamelus refers to an extinct genus of camel that lived in North America during the Miocene epoch. The correct classification for the domesticated Bactrian camel is Camelus bactrianus, and for the wild Bactrian camel, it is Camelus ferus.

@Peets-world, actually, no it does not, Oreocamelus is an extant genus of camel with the Bactrian Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus) as its only extant species following the extinctions of the Knobloch's Camel (Oreocamelus knoblochi) and the Siwalik Camel (Oreocamelus sivalensis), which like the bactrian camel all have two humps, Oreocamelus ferus is a junior synonym of Oreocamelus bactrianus, making the wild and domestic bactrian camels the same species with only two valid subspecies: the Gobi Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus bactrianus) and the Kunlun Shan Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus kunlunshanensis) with the domestic bactrian camel being a population of the former In case you should know, camels are defined by the family Camelidae as a whole and there are only six extant species under four genera based on morphology and morphology alone, the six extant camel species are the Vicuna (Vicugna vicugna), the Alpaca (Vicugna pacos), the Guanaco (Lama guanicoe), the Llama (Lama glama), the Dromedary (Camelus dromedarius), and the Bactrian Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus), all four extant camel genera are in a single extant subfamily which is Camelinae (Modern Camels), the subfamily is further split into the tribes Lamini (Modern Humpless Camels) for the genera Vicugna and Lama and Camelini (Humped Camels) for the genera Camelus and Oreocamelus Because the genera are based solely on morphology, there are many morphological differences between all four extant camel genera, for the camels in the Lamini tribe, the main difference between the genera Vicugna and Lama is that the camels in the genus Vicugna have short snouts while camels in the genus Lama have longer snouts whereas for the camels in the Camelini tribe, the main difference between the genera Camelus and Oreocamelus is that camels in the genus Camelus have only one hump on their back while camels in the genus Oreocamelus have two humps on their back As far as told, while both genera Vicugna and Lama belong to the same tribe (Lamini), they are still only distantly related to each other as there are fossil genera that are more closely related to the extant Vicugna genus than the Vicugna genus is to Lama and fossil genera that are more closely related to the extant Lama genus than the Lama genus is to Vicugna, similarly, both genera Camelus and Oreocamelus also belong to the same tribe (Camelini), they are also still only distantly related to each other as there are fossil genera that are more closely related to the extant Camelus genus than the Camelus genus is to Oreocamelus and fossil genera that are more closely related to the extant Oreocamelus genus than the Oreocamelus genus is to Camelus.

@@indyreno2933 o woah you really know your camels, I 'm afraid I'm not that kind of an expert but as far as I understood is Oreocamelus: is not an extant genus of camels. "Oreocamelus" actually refers to a genus of extinct camels that lived in North America during the Miocene to Pliocene epochs. The Bactrian Camel, as well as other modern camels, belong to the genus Camelus, not Oreocamelus.The relationships among these genera and species are complex and include numerous extinct relatives and there is an ongoing debate about their exact classification. But like I said I 'm not an expert so I had to look it up, maybe I'm wrong, in that case I'm sorry....but a fact is that they are truely amizing animals . :)

@Peets-world, again it does not, the dromedary is the only extant species in the genus Camelus, Oreocamelus is an extant genus with the bactrian camel as its only extant species, if the dromedary and bactrian camel are superficially different, then they do not belong to the same genus, the bactrian camel belongs to a separate genus from the dromedary just like african elephants are a separate genus from asiatic elephants, this is due to morphological differences, there are four extant genera of camels based solely on morphology: Vicugna (Vicuna and Alpaca), Lama (Guanaco and Llama), Camelus (Modern One-Humped Camels), and Oreocamelus (Two-Humped Camels), based on here Camelus is an exclusively one-humped genus while all two-humped camels belong to a separate genus, which is the genus Oreocamelus.

@@indyreno2933 The Dromedary and Bactrian camels both belong to the genus Camelus, not separate genera. The genus Camelus includes both one-humped and two-humped camels. The idea that Oreocamelus is an extant genus containing the Bactrian camel is incorrect, as Oreocamelus is an extinct genus. There are only three extant genera of camelids: Vicugna, Lama, and Camelus. source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel
