Do the camels down there have one hump or two?

TGRR,
Can never keep that straight.

Both.  However, they are even more ill-tempered and mannered than normal camels.  As a consequence of living in Australia, no doubt.

Well, that much is obvious, and for good reasons:

1.  All the blood flows to your head, which leads to splitting headaches.

2.  Tripping over kangaroos.

3.  Drop bears.

4.  Hoop snakes.

5.  The Flying Doctor.

I was thinking "having to put up with Australian tourists feeding you beer all the time" but that works too.

Olivia Newton John.

I still think she got robbed in the Oscars.  She totally deserved one for Xanadu.

It depends on the severity of the call-out. Camels, as you are no doubt aware, are the AT-ATs of the animal kingdom.
The hump of the Australian Camel contains complex organs, drawing gasses from the digestive system of the animal and storing them beneath the hump to be released at will. Usually, a single hump is enough. The single-humped camel will position itself beneath a tree/bridge/bus shelter/ceiling and suddenly release the stored gasses, launching the stored drop-bear at the surface above. You can understand how few situations warrant a second stored bear.

Often the camel will then act as bait for the drop-bear's target, luring them to the right positon, but this is not their only function. Depending on the strategic requirements of the situation, the drop-bear will sometimes have an addition couple of camels accompany it, not for further drop-bear deployment but so the three animals can be used to track a fleeing target by tri-ungulating their position.

Little known fact about this system: Sometimes a dual-humped camel will be sent out with only a single drop-bear, mainly as a bluff. The spare hump is used to store a venom sac, which is so common in Australia as to hardly warrant a mention.

FUN FACT: Australians often refer to drop-bears as having camelflage.

You, sir, are on a roll.

I'm just doing my bit to educate you top-world folk about the perils of the underplanet.
