10. Bactrian (and three humps sounds like overburdened and/or "grumpy"...)  Google tells me that there is/was actually a Trinidad camel with three humps (not from Trinidad, however), and once a freak dromedary with four!

That's what I was looking for, flotsam! Interested in the trindal, SD - didn't realise three-humped camels actually existed....
