camel definition and meaning

What is a "camel?"

Camels are large, even-toed ungulates with distinctive features such as humps on their back and a long, curved neck. They are found in the Middle East, Africa, and parts of Asia. Camels are well adapted to desert life, with their thick fur and padded feet that help them move easily on sand. They are also able to go for long periods without water, as they can store it in their humps. Camels have been domesticated for thousands of years and are used for transportation, meat, milk, and wool. They are known for their calm and placid temperament, and their ability to withstand harsh environments.
