A little more perspective
The Zoological Park Organization’s dromedary profile, updated April 6, 2017, describes a two-meter shoulder height. This rounded animal reference is not a measured individual or a species maximum. It is kept separate from height to the hump or raised head.
The illustration shows one hump and a naturally curved neck. Its measurement marker ends at the shoulder where the neck meets the front of the torso. The hump can change in fullness, and the head can move, so neither supplies a fixed endpoint for the shoulder figure.
