Dromedary Camel - Neck Length: Approx. 6.6 ft. (2 m)

The Dromedary Camel is a large even-toed ungulate, of the genus Camelus, with one hump on its back. It is the tallest of the three species of camel; adult males stand 1.8–2.4 m at the shoulder, while females are 1.7–1.9 m tall. The long, curving neck, small chest, single hump (as opposed to the two found on the Bactrian camel and wild Bactrian camel), and long hairs on the throat, shoulders, and hump are the species' distinguishing characteristics. Dromedary and Bactrian camel species have the longest limbs of any living camelid. Because of their long limbs, they need a long neck to avoid kneeling or bending down to feed.

The dromedary lived in the Sahara Desert and other arid areas in the wild. In the Old World, the domesticated dromedary is typically found in semi-arid to dry areas, primarily in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, however, there is also a sizable feral population in Australia. Products of the dromedary, including its meat and milk, support several North African tribes; it is also commonly used for riding and as a beast of burden.
