Bactrian camels are well-adapted to desert life in Central Asia, with long eyelashes and nostrils to protect from sand, and the ability to store fat in humps when food is plentiful. They primarily eat desert vegetation and live in the Gobi desert, with only 300-500 wild camels remaining.
Since 1901 Iceland has had a sea limit around the island which marked off the zone that could be fished by Icelanders alone. It started as 3 miles and by 1976 the exclusive area had expanded to 200 miles. This was done to protect the diminishing fishing stock, particularly cod and haddock.
