What Are Dromedaries?

Dromedaries are a special kind of camel. They have one big hump on their back.

Dromedaries live in Africa, where it is hot and dry. The hump helps them store fat, so they can live for a long time without eating or drinking much water.

What About Two-Humped Camels?

Some camels have two humps. These camels are called Bactrians. They live in different places like Asia, where the weather can be very cold.

So, if you see a camel with one hump, it is a dromedary. If it has two humps, it is called a Bactrian camel.
