Camels' coats are beige or uniform pale brown with their undersides just slightly lighter
Someone once said a camel "looks like a horse designed by a committee"
With splayed feet, long slender legs, knobby knees, and rounded chests, camels may look comical, but they are well designed for desert life
Long eyelashes and bushy eyebrows protect their eyes from sun and sand
Their ears are furred both inside and out to protect them from blowing sand, and camels are able to close their slit-like-nostrils
Their hair is thicker on the back for protection against the sun, and thinner on the belly for coolness.

Dromedaries were first domesticated in Arabia sometime between 4000 and 2000 BC and spread to Egypt and North Africa, later to East Africa and India.

Their split upper lips, long curved necks, and lack of tensor skin between their thighs and bellies (so that their legs look very long), are characteristics of camels. They move at an ambling pace, placing their entire body weight on the sole-pads while only the front of the hoof touches the ground, a marked difference from other hoofed animals. Adult camels have callused areas where their joints touch the ground when sitting.

Dromedary camels in Africa are generally maintained in a semi-wild state in which they forage alone but depend on man for water. Camels form 3 kinds of herds:

Groups of bachelor males
Adult females with their newborns
Groups of up to 30 adult females along with their 1 and 2 year-old offspring, led by a single adult male

Camels mate throughout the year but the peak of births coincides with seasonal plant growth. During rut, males may inflate the soft palate of their mouth or dulaa as part of their rutting display toward other males, while gargling simultaneously. Males also have occipital glands at the back of the head behind the ears with which they mark territory.

Females give birth every other year to a single offspring after a gestation of 370 to 440 days, and nurse the infant for more than a year. At four years of age, calves become wholly independent.
