[Answer] What is the name for a camel with only one hump?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "What is the name for a camel with only one hump?"



...A camel with only one hump is called a dromedary. Dromedary camels are well adapted to hot, arid environments and are commonly found in the Middle East and North Africa. Their single hump stores fat, which can be converted into energy and water when resources are scarce. This distinguishes them from Bactrian camels, which have two humps and are typically found in the colder deserts of Central Asia. The dromedary is the more common of the two species and has been domesticated for thousands of years for transportation, milk, and meat.
