Arabian Camel, also known as the Dromedary (Camelus dromedarius), is a large, even-toed ungulate native to the deserts of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa. Unlike the Bactrian camel, which has two humps, the Arabian camel has a single hump, which stores fat that can be converted to water and energy when food and water are scarce. This adaptation, along with its ability to withstand high temperatures and go for long periods without water, makes it an integral part of the desert ecosystem.
Classification of the Arabian Camel:

Phylum: Chordata

Order: Artiodactyla
Family: Camelidae
Genus: Camelus
Species: Camelus dromedarius
Dromedary camels have been domesticated for thousands of years and are used for transportation, milk, and meat. They are also used in agriculture and for carrying goods across desert areas. Their unique physiological and anatomical adaptations have made them indispensable to the inhabitants of desert regions.
