The dromedary, also called the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius), is a large, even-toed ungulate with 1 hump on its back. The dromedary is the smallest of the 3 species of camel; adult males stand 1.8–2 m (5.9–6.6 ft) at the shoulder, while females are 1.7–1.9 m (5.6–6.2 ft) tall. Males typically weigh between 400 and 600 kg (880 and 1,320 lb), and females weigh between 300 and 540 kg (660 and 1,190 lb). The species' distinctive features include its long, curved neck, narrow chest, a single hump (compared with 2 on the Batrican camel and wild Bactrian camel), and long hairs on the throat, shoulders and hump. The coat is generally a shade of brown. The hump, 20 cm (7.9 in) tall or more, is made of fat bound together by fibrous tissue.




Dromedaries appeared in a few episodes.

A dromedary first appeared in "Great Singers".

In "Funny Faces", another dromedary was among the animals that had different faces (it was shown chewing continuously when Chris said that some animals have big mouths) between a proboscis monkey and a sulfur-crested cockatoo.
