she-camel

Hump-backed desert female

A she-camel is a female camel.

The term appears primarily in translations of Arabic texts, religious literature, and historical accounts where the sex of the animal carries significance—as in stories of prized breeding stock or sacrificial animals: The prophet's she-camel knelt at the spot where the mosque would be built.
