Camel facts

Some random facts found on the net....Did you know the camel has played such an important role in Arab culture that there are over 160 words for "camel" in the Arabic language. The Arabian camel has a single hump and the average life expectancy of a camel is forty to fifty years. Camels do not store water in their humps as is commonly believed; the humps are actually a reservoir of fatty tissue. Camels are able to withstand changes in body temperature and water content that would kill most other animals.

I can think of a few English names for some camels that I've met.
