Camelus (also called old world camelids) has three extant species, namely the dromedary, bactrian, and the wild bactrian camel, whereas lama (also new world camelids) consists of four extant species Llama, guanaco, alpaca, and vicuna. The camel is an extremely resilient mammal that is recognized by its characteristic humps and fuzzy exterior They are sometimes referred to as ‘ships of the desert’, as they are capable of smoothly traversing across sands and dry environments. They are primarily domesticated in the present, with only one species living in the wild. By storing most of its fat in one place, a camel is not covered in insulating fat and thus can stay cooler in the desert heat
When food is scarce, the camel’s body uses the fat stored in the hump, causing the hump to lean over and droop A camel can go a week or more without water, and it can last for several months without food. There are two species of camel The bactrian camel (camelus bactrianus) and the dromedary camel (camelus dromedarius) About 90% of the world’s camels are dromedary camels, also known. A camel can survive for a week without water and can drink up to 145 litres (38 gallons) in one session
Unlike most animals, camels store energy in their humps as fat, which they metabolize for water and nutrients when needed.
