Here's a breakdown:
* Wild Camels:
* Bactrian Camels: These camels usually live in small groups of 5-15 individuals, often led by a dominant male. Groups may consist of females with their young, or a mix of males and females.
* Dromedary Camels: These are more solitary, but still may form temporary groups, especially during breeding season or when traveling together.
* Domesticated Camels:
* Domestication: While they are often kept individually, domestic camels can be found in larger groups, especially for herding purposes or when traveling.
Overall: While camels can be solitary creatures, especially the dromedary variety, they often live in groups for social reasons, especially for protection and raising young.
