The common name "dromedary" comes from the Old French dromedaire or the Late Latin dromedarius.These originated from the Greek word dromas, δρομάς (ο, η) (GEN (γενική) dromados, δρομάδος), meaning "running" or "runner", [5] [6] used in Greek in the combination δρομάς κάμηλος (dromas kamelos), literally "running camel", to refer to the dromedary.
The dromedary's karyotype is similar to that of the Bactrian camel. [5] As an adult, dromedary camels can weigh up to six times as much as a llama; as such, the hybrid needs to be produced by artificial insemination. Insemination of a female llama with sperm from a male dromedary camel has been the only successful combination.
The wild Bactrian camel is slightly smaller than the domestic Bactrian camel and has been described as "lithe, and slender-legged, with very narrow feet and a body that looks laterally compressed." [ 18 ] The humps of the wild Bactrian camel are smaller, lower, and more conical in shape than those of the domestic Bactrian camel.
