Which Animal Has Hump?

A camel is an even-toed ungulate in the genus Camelus that bears distinctive fatty deposits known as "humps" on its back. Camels have long been domesticated and, as livestock, they provide food (milk and meat) and textiles (fiber and felt from hair).

Which animals have a hump?

Camels are mammals with long legs, a big-lipped snout and a humped back. There are two types of camels: dromedary camels, which have one hump, and Bactrian camels, which have two humps. Camels' humps consist of stored fat, which they can metabolize when food and water is scarce.

How many animals have humps?

It turns out there are 2 living “species” or types of camel: the dromedary, which has 1 hump, and the bactrian camel, which has 2 humps. Their four camel-like cousins have the same long neck and legs, but aren't quite as lumpy: the alpaca, llama, guanaco, and vicuña (that last one lives in South America).
