Details

The Dromedary or One-Humped Camel (Camelus dromedarius) is a large camelid, which can now only be found in domesticated form. The scientific name of the species was published by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The Dromedary is regularly used as a pack and mount in desert areas. He is very closely related to the Camel. The two can interbreed. A cross between a Dromedary and a Camel is called Hybrid Camel.
