    "Camel Joe" taken at the Serengeti Texas Resort.
    I was worried that he might spit, but he came up to me and essentially swallowed my whole head. As I was looking through the lens, everything went dark.     Posted 9 years ago

    You appear to have uploaded this photo twice. Would you like to delete the other one? Any idea what species of camel this is?
    Pretty close huh!     Posted 9 years ago

    I think it is a dromedary (one hump), but not sure enough to commit.

    Actually, same camel, two slightly different shots with ever so slightly looks to them. One might be a bit more aesthetic.

    Thank you for writing.

The Dromedary camel

The dromedary, also called the Arabian camel or the Indian camel, 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.
