The term 'humpback' can refer to two different animals: a WHALE and a CAMEL. A humpback WHALE is a large marine mammal that is known for its long fins and distinctive body shape. It is found in all the world's oceans and is an important part of the marine ecosystem. A humpback CAMEL is a large, two-humped animal that is native to the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East. It is an important source of food and transportation for many people in these regions.
