What is the differince between a camel having one or two humps?

Answer 1

A camel with one hump is a dromedary and a camel with two humps is a bactrian camel. Bactrian camels are better suited to cold climates with more rugged terrain, as they have stout, stocky bodies that enable greater stability. Dromedaries are the desert-dwellers, with long legs. Their humps store fat which can be metabolised into energy, enabling them to go for long periods without food or water.

Answer 2

Because there are two species of camels in the world.

Camels with one hump are called Dromedary Camels. These are found in the Middle-East, Africa and Southern Asia.

Camels with two humps are called Bactrian Camels. These species are found in Central Asia and Eastern Asia. Bactrian Camels, according to the United Nations, are listed as critically endangered.
