The dromedary (Camelus dromedarius), also known as the dromedary camel, Arabian camel, or one-humped camel, has only one hump which stores up to 80 pounds of fat, which a camel can break down into water and energy when sustenance is not available. About 90% of the world's camels are dromedary camels – they have been domesticated for approximately 3,500 years and have been long valued as pack animals as they can carry large loads for up to 25 miles a day.
