The dromedary camel, also known as the Arabian camel, is a large mammal characterized by its single hump. Native to the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East, these camels are well-adapted to arid environments, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and going long periods without water. Dromedaries are primarily herbivores, feeding on dry grasses and grains. They have unique physiological features, such as the ability to store fat in their hump, which can be converted to energy when food is scarce. These camels are also known for their strength and endurance, making them valuable for transportation and labor in desert regions.
