Desert animal (5)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

camel

'desert animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for camel that I've seen before include "Yellowish" , "One travelling in caravan" , "Dromedary, perhaps" , "Saddle animal in desert regions" , "It is called the ship of the desert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The Mirror, The Independent and the Evening Standard.
