Camellos

Camellos is a term that can refer to several things, most commonly camels. Camels are large mammals of the genus Camelus. They are known for their humps, which store fat, and their ability to survive in arid conditions. There are two main species of camels: the dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) with one hump, and the Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) with two humps. These animals are native to dry regions of Africa and Asia and have been domesticated for thousands of years, serving as a vital mode of transportation and source of resources for people in these areas. Their adaptations include wide feet for walking on sand, nostrils that can be closed to keep out dust, and a remarkable ability to conserve water.

In some contexts, "camellos" might also refer to a Spanish word for camels. The usage would be directly analogous to the English term.

Additionally, "Camellos" is the name of a municipality located in the province of Granada, Spain. This town is situated in the Los Montes region and has a history tied to agricultural practices and local traditions. Like many towns in southern Spain, its economy has historically relied on farming and livestock. The specific etymology of the town's name is generally believed to be related to the presence of camels in the past, possibly due to historical trade routes or settlements.
