Dromedaries are one-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) commonly found in arid regions. The term refers to adult animals of that species and, in plural form, often denotes a group. They are adapted to desert climates, capable of long-distance travel with efficient water use and distinctive single humps. The word also appears in literature and zoology to differentiate from Bactrian camels (two humps).
