Yes, they can interbreed. Bactrian camel have 2 humps and are rugged cold-climate camels while Dromedaries have one hump and are desert dwellers. Bactrian/Dromedary hybrids are called Bukhts, are larger than either parent, have a single hump and are good draft camels.

Yes, dromedary and Bactrian camels can cross-breed and produce fertile offspring, known as a "camel hybrid". However, it is not a common practice as the two species have different adaptations to their respective environments and it's not clear whether the hybrid would have the best characteristics of both the parents.
