Dromedary camels (one-humped) are the tallest camels, with large males reaching up to 2.4 meters at the shoulder.

This makes them the largest and tallest species in the camel family, capable of significant height due to their long legs and necks.

They have a prominent single hump made of fat, not water, serving as an energy reserve.

They have thick, double-layered eyelashes and bushy eyebrows protect against sand, while wide feet provide grip on soft terrain.

They can survive extreme water loss, metabolising fat from their hump to produce water.

This can allow their body temperature to rise, reducing the need to sweat.

Dromedary camels have thick lips that allow them to eat coarse and thorny desert plants.

They are primarily found in arid regions of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, with feral populations in Australia.
