A camel is an
even-toed ungulate within the genus Camelus, bearing distinctive fatty deposits
known as "humps" on its back. The two surviving species of camel are
the dromedary, or one-humped camel, which inhabits the Middle East and the Horn
of Africa; and the bactrian, or two-humped camel, which inhabits Central Asia.
Both species have been domesticated; they provide milk, meat, hair for textiles
or goods such as felted pouches, and are working animals with tasks ranging
from human transport to bearing loads. Source
