The term camel is derived via Latin and Greek (camelus and ÎºÎ¬Î¼Î·Î»Î¿Ï kamÄlos respectively) from Hebrew or Phoenician gÄmÄl. The Hebrew meaning of the word gÄmÄl is derived from the verb root g.m.l, meaning (1) stopping, weaning, going without; or (2) repaying in kind.
A camel is an even-toed ungulate within the genus Camelus, bearing distinctive fatty deposits known as humps on its back. The three surviving species of camel are the dromedary, or one-humped camel (C. dromedarius), which inhabits the Middle East and the Horn of Africa; the Bactrian, or two-humped camel (C. bactrianus), which inhabits Central Asia; and the critically endangered wild Bactrian camel (C. ferus) that has limited populations in remote areas of northwest China and Mongolia.
