The Arabian camel, also known by various names such as the one-humped camel, Arabian dromedary, and sometimes as the hybrid, is a large mammal belonging to the Camelids family. The exact native habitat of the wild Arabian camel is not precisely known, but it is suspected to be in the Arabian Peninsula. Today, the domesticated form of these camels can be found in North Africa, the Middle East, and Northern India. There are no known wild Arabian camels left in the world, and the only way to study the behavior of this species in the wild is through monitoring feral herds that were introduced to Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Arabian camels were also introduced to the southwestern United States during roughly the same period, but they quickly became extinct there due to hunting by farmers and native populations, as they competed with domesticated livestock for already scarce food resources in the region.
