camel's

Hump-backed animal's

Camel's is the possessive form of camel, indicating something belonging to or associated with the humped desert mammal.

Most often encountered in camel's hair, a soft fabric made from camel undercoat used in coats and brushes, and in the expression the straw that broke the camel's back—the final small burden that causes collapse after accumulated strain.
