What size of a camel?

The size of a camel can vary depending on the species. There are two main species of camels: the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) and the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus).

1. Dromedary Camel:

- Height at the shoulder: Typically between 6 to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 meters)

- Weight: Can range between 880 to 1,300 pounds (400 to 600 kilograms)

2. Bactrian Camel:

- Height at the shoulder: Usually around 6 to 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 meters)

- Weight: Can vary from 1,300 to 2,200 pounds (600 to 1,000 kilograms)

Bactrian camels tend to be slightly larger and more robust than dromedary camels. Both species are known for their ability to store water and fat in their humps, which they can use as a source of energy when food and water are scarce. The size of a camel can also vary based on factors such as genetics, diet, and environment.
