Dromedary is the general name for any camel with only one hump

Maybe specifying if it's the head or shoulder height *before* the wild bactrian camel would help *not* confusing people. Just as specifying if it's the head, shoulder, or hump height starting with wild bactrian camel and on *would* be just as helpful as well. That said, *if* I could, would ride a domestic bactrian camel. *If* it was still around, would ride the aepycamelus.
