Baby camels are born without a hump. They won't develop one until they start eating solid food.

Contrary to myth, water is not stored there. A camel's hump is made up
of fatty tissue that can be converted into energy and water. As the camel draws upon these energy reserves, the hump
shrinks. If the fat deposits are truly depleted, the hump will flop over
and hang down the camel's side. A week of food, water and rest will
restore a camel's hump to its proper shape.
