The dromedary, also known as the Arabian camel, is a large, even-toed ungulate native to the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. It is characterized by a single hump on its back, which stores fat that the camel can use as an energy source during long periods without food or water. Dromedaries are well-adapted to arid environments, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and surviving on minimal water. Dromedaries are primarily used as pack animals and for transportation in many cultures. They can carry heavy loads over long distances and are known for their endurance. Additionally, dromedaries provide milk, meat, and leather, making them an important resource for many communities in desert regions.
