| definition: |
A camel is a large animal with a long neck, long legs, and smooth hair. Camels have hoofs on their feet, and they have a large hump, or two humps, on their back. Camels live in northern Africa, the Middle East, and central Asia.
People sometimes ride camels when they travel in a desert. People ride camels in the desert because camels don't need to drink water very often, and deserts are very dry.
