WHAT DOES ARABIAN CAMEL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Arabian camel

Dromedary

The dromedary, also called the Arabian camel or the Indian camel, is a large, even-toed ungulate with one hump on its back. First described by Aristotle, the dromedary was given its binomial name by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The dromedary is the next largest member of the camel family after the Bactrian camel. The oldest known ancestor of the dromedary is the Protylopus. Males are 1.8–2 m tall and females are 1.7–1.9 m tall. Males range from 400–600 kg, while females weigh 300–540 kg. They vary in colour from a light beige to dark brown. The notable hump, measuring 20 cm high, is composed of fat bound together by fibrous tissue. Their diet includes foliage and desert vegetation, like thorny plants which their extremely tough mouths allow them to eat. These camels are active in the day, and rest together in groups. Led by a dominant male, each herd consists of about 20 individuals. Some males form bachelor groups. Dromedaries show no signs of territoriality, as herds often merge during calamities. Predators in the wild include wolves, lions, and tigers.
