Camel
These “ships of the desert” have long been valued as pack or saddle
animals, and they are also exploited for milk, meat, wool, and hides.
The dromedary was domesticated about 2000–1300 bce in Arabia, the Bactrian camel by 2500 bce
in northern Iran and northeast Afghanistan. Most of today’s 13 million
domesticated dromedaries are in India and the Horn of Africa. Wild
dromedaries are extinct, although there is a large feral population in
interior Australia descended from pack animals imported in the 19th
century.
