Camelus dromedarius (Arabian camel) Arabian camel Lineage: Eukaryota[15557]; Metazoa[7782]; Chordata[3579]; Craniata[3544]; Vertebrata[3544]; Euteleostomi[3500]; Mammalia[873]; Eutheria[699]; Laurasiatheria[340]; Artiodactyla[152]; Tylopoda[7]; Camelidae[7]; Camelus[3]; Camelus dromedarius[1]

The dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) lives in arid regions of northern Africa, through the Middle East and into northern India. The dromedary camel has been widely domesticated and large feral populations now live in the arid regions of central Australia. Dromedary camels are well known for their adaptations to desert conditions which include More...a variety of mechanisms to conserve water and avoid heat stress. Camels are evolutionarily related to other cetartiodactyl mammals such as pigs, deer, giraffes, antelopes, sheep, cattle, and whales. Less...
