Dromedary Camel Calf in Marrakech, Morocco

The dromedary or one-hump camel is indigenous to the Middle East. Since 3,000 B.C., they have been raised as a source of milk, meat and transportation. Although this camelid can tolerate heat above 120° F, it might lose up to 25% of body weight through perspiration. When given the chance, they will lay down in this sternal recumbency position. This calf will stand about six feet and weigh 650 to 1,300 pounds when full grown. He is one of 14 million domestic camels in the world. They have not existed in the wild for over 2,000 years.
