Camels have an impressive ability to carry a heavy load. The Bactrian camel can carry up to 440 pounds in a day, while the dromedary can haul up to 220 pounds.8 When walking, both legs on the same side of the camel's body move at the same time, called a pace.

Because the fat stored in their humps provides energy, these herbivores are able to work without requiring frequent breaks for food or water

The camel's hump is its most notable feature. However, contrary to popular belief, it isn't used to store water. Instead, the hump stores fat.3 The fat releases both energy and water when resources are unavailable. It also serves another purpose: By storing most of its fat in one place, a camel is not covered in insulating fat and thus can stay cooler in the desert heat.

Healthy camels with significant fat stores can survive without food or water for a couple of weeks

There are three types of camels in the world: dromedary camels (or Arabian camels), Bactrian camels (or Asian camels), and wild Bactrian camels (Camelus ferus). The majority of camels are domestic. The only wild camel species, wild Bactrian camels, are only found in just a few locations in China and Mongolia.2

Dromedary camels are domestic camels with long curved necks and a single hump, while Bactrian camels have two humps. All three species of camels are tall — dromedary camels average six feet tall and Bactrian camels are around seven feet in height.
