A fully-grown adult camel stands 1.85m/6 feet at the shoulder and 2.15m/7 feet at the hump. A fully-grown camel can weigh up to 700kg/1542lbs. A camel's long, thin legs have powerful muscles which allow the animal to carry loads over long distances. A camel can carry as much as 450kg/990lbs, but a usual and more comfortable cargo weight is 150kgs/330lbs. It is usual for a camel to work as a beast of burden for only six to eight months of the year; the remainder of the time it needs to rest and recuperate.
