The dromedary (/ËdrÉmÉdÉri/ or /-Édri/), also called the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius), is a large, even-toed ungulate with one hump on its back. First described by Aristotle, the dromedary was given its binomial name by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The oldest known ancestor of the dromedary is the Protylopus. Males are 1.8â2 m (5.9â6.6 ft) tall and females are 1.7â1.9 m (5.6â6.2 ft) tall. Males range from 400â600 kg (880â1,320 lb), while females weigh 300â540 kg (660â1,190 lb). They vary in colour from a light beige to dark brown.
