A staple of the desert, the dromedary has accompanied humans for thousands of years. Domesticated for transportation, it is capable of traveling long distances under a blazing sun, laden with goods or travelers. Its slender silhouette and single hump distinguish it from its close cousin, the two-humped camel.
Perfectly adapted to extreme conditions, it can go several days without drinking and feed on dry grass or even thorny plants. Surprisingly, its hump does not contain water, but a reserve of fat that it uses as energy when needed. Its great strength and exceptional endurance make it a valuable ally for caravans crossing the dunes.
This Papo figurine realistically reproduces the dromedary: long legs, characteristic hump and authentic appearance. An ideal model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent stories in the heart of the desert or to educate children about the incredible adaptations of animals to arid environments.
