Definition 1 is: A large Asiatic or African quadruped ruminant with a humped back, capable of subsisting long without water, used for carrying burdens and for riding. There are two species, the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius), often called the dromedary, having one hump, and the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus), having two. They are peculiarly adapted for life in the desert, being able to live on the tough thorny plants of such regions, and having thick callous soles to the feet, the hoofs being small and situated at the ends of the two toes. They can go several days without drinking, having cavities, or diverticula of the stomach closed by sphincter muscles, in which a supply of water may be stored up.
