Description[]
The Dromedary is a member of the camel family and the tallest of three camel species, with males reaching a height of two meters (6.6 feet) at the shoulder. It is a desert animal and has many adaptations to help it survive. Its characteristic hump can store up to 80lb (36kg) of fat which the camel can use as an energy resource. Its wide padded hooves help it traverse sandy regions and it has a double layer of eyelashes in order to protect its eyes against flying sand and dust. As an extra precaution, a dromedary can close its nostrils as well.
The dromedary was originally native to the Sahara Desert of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It is believed to have been first domesticated by humans around 4000 years ago and now it only exists in a domestic form, although feral herds can be found in Australia. They are herbivores and will regularly eat thorny plants.
