Dromedary one humped camel Camelus dromedarius
Camels run like a giraffe with both legs on one side of the body moving simultaneously The resulting rocking shuffling gait gave rise to the term Ship of the Desert Camels have been used as beasts of burden for centuries They are known for their loathing of men and forms of work Spit foul smelling stomach contents when annoyed Arabs utilize almost every portion of the body The name Dromedary is properly reserved for the Arabian racing camel such as those used in the various military camel corps These camels can travel 80 to 120 miles per day carrying a rider Arabian baggage camels have a heavier build and are capable of carrying a 200 kg load up to 40 miles per day
