Dromedary Camel

A single-humped camel that can drink 100 liters in ten minutes/Large Land Animals

The dromedary, or Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius), is the single-humped camel that makes up about 94% of the world's camel population. Contrary to popular belief, a dromedary's hump stores fat, not water, providing up to 9.3 kg of metabolic energy. They can survive losing up to 25% of their body water without ill effects, and when they finally drink, they can consume up to 100 liters in just 10 minutes. Their oval-shaped red blood cells flow freely even when dehydrated, unlike the round cells of other mammals that clump. Dromedaries have been domesticated for about 4,000 years.
