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.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
