One-Humped Camel
Camelus dromedarius
The adult dromedary is a large desert-adapted herbivore found in arid lands, semi-deserts, and dry scrub. It browses thorny shrubs, grasses, and other hardy vegetation, using tough lips to handle plants many animals avoid. Adults travel long distances with a steady gait and can tolerate severe heat and water scarcity. Its single hump stores fat, helping it endure long periods when food is limited.
