About
The dromedary camel is a tall, single-humped desert mammal that stands nearly seven feet high at the shoulder.
The dromedary is the tallest of the three camel species, easily distinguished from its two-humped relatives by its single hump. Adult males are generally larger than females, standing anywhere from 5.9 to 7.9 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) tall and weighing up to 1,520 pounds (690 kg). The hump adds another 8 inches (20 cm) or more to its profile and consists entirely of stored fat rather than water.
