A . Camels are large animals that have humps on their backs. One kind of camels, called the Arabian or dromedary camel, has just one hump, the other kind, called the Bactrian or two –humped camel, has two humps as its name states.
Camels are used to carry people or heavy loads. They have strong backs. Camel have long legs, long curved necks, small heads, and strong heavy bodies. A camel is more than two meters tall.
Dromedaries inhabit the desert areas of Asia and South Africa. They have longer legs than Bactrian camels, which live in Central Asia between China and Iran. For this reason, they are especially good for riding. Camel can run bout fifteen kilometers an hour. Riding a camel is quite different from riding a horse because a camel moves both right legs together and then both left legs.
Arabian camels have soft fine hair which gets darker as the camel ages. Bactrian camels, which live in colder climates, have shaggy hair which is shed in the spring when it is unnecessary in the warm weather.
