Big Red, there are two basic breeds of camels:
1 Bactrian, with two humps.   This is a beast of burden.
2 Dromedary, with one hump.   This is a running camel.
The "drome" in that word means "run" or "running"
For a very long time, there has been a lot of camel
racing in the Middle East, using Dromedaries.
