The humps on a camel aren't really to store water that is what the cmels big stomach is for. It's humps store all the fat, it is classified asa megafauna.

Edit: It's to store fat, which produces water when burned.

No cows have humps on their backs like camels do. European cows don't have any humps on their backs, necks or shoulders to speak of. However, Zebu and Brahman-type cattle do have humps, but not on their backs: they have large humps over their shoulders. It is more prominant in bulls than in cows, just like the thick neck crest developed by mature European bulls is more prominent in bulls than in cows.
