	Dromedary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) is a large even-toed ungulate native to northern Africa and western Asia, and is the best-known member of the camel family.
		Dromedaries are also noted for their thick eyelashes and small, hairy ears.
		Modern domesticated dromedaries are used for milk and meat and as beasts of burden for cargo and passengers.

	Dromedary, Arabian camel
		Dromedaries can glean much of their needed water from desert vegetation, and can survive after losing over 40 percent of their body weight in water.
		The dromedary, or one-humped camel, was described by Linnaeus in 1758.
		Dromedaries were also introduced into the southwestern United States in the middle of the 19th century for both transportation and meat, but due to the building of the railroads, the experiment was declared useless.

	Case Study
		Confrontations among dromedaries include pushing each other with their whole body or lowered head and neck; snapping at each other without biting; and occasionally vomiting cud when they are hurt or excited.
		The dromedary camel is used as a beast of burden by humans and also provides humans with milk, meat, wool, leather, and fuel from dried manure.
		Dromedary husbandry is increasing today, and is being recognized as an ecologically-sound method of producing protein rich food in drought-stricken areas (Phoenix Zoo 1995).

	Dromedary Peak Trip Report
		Dromedary Peak is among the highest and most rugged peaks in the Wasatch.
		Look to Dromedary, the high bump to the west (you'll see Sunrise Peak, higher, behind it, and the even higher east Twin Peak behind that).
		I would say Dromedary is one of the tougher peaks I've done, but not as tough as it's neighbor Sunrise.

		But for Athens duo Dromedary, it was moving away from Georgia (at least temporarily) that proved to be the greatest inspiration.
		Performing on the traditional instruments and incorporating the regional styles of the Andes, Northern Africa, Eastern Europe and Appalachia, dromedary draws on the experiences the two had with the music of these distant and distinct cultures.
		The close proximity the two have had to these musical traditions is evident in the delicate, personal dynamic of their compositions.

	CD Baby: DROMEDARY: Artifact
		Dromedary began playing as a duo with no professional ambitions in mind back in the last century (1998).
		Jonathan Byrd and Dromedary's collaborative album The Sea and the Sky (2003) -- called a "masterpiece" by multiple reviewers and deejays -- landed Dromedary on stage in some of the world's finest folk venues and festivals in Texas, California, New England, as well as Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
		Dromedary Quartet takes Dromedary -- some would say -- to the "next level" as some of Dromedary's latent compositions and musical ideas (that were impossible to pull off as a duo) come to the forefront in the context of the Quartet.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Dromedary: Artifact
		At a time when the word "diversity" has begun to lose its luster, Dromedary proves that their first effort isn't just zeitgeist.
		Dromedary is the product of two very distinct and very different young musicians who play so seamlessly that telling them apart is almost impossible.
		The instrumentation is unique: Andrew Reissiger plays a charango (an Andean folk instrument which is like a small, five double-stringed guitar, usually made from a armadillo shell) and Rob McMaken plays mandolin and cümbüs (pronounced "joom-bush", it is a Turkish, long-necked, fretless instrument with stretched skin over a metal bowl).

		Dromedary camels have only one hump and are native to Arabia.
		One easy way to remember which is which is to remember a "D" (for dromedary) is made of only one "hump", while a "B" (for Bactrian) has two.
		The desert-dwelling dromedary is often called the "ship of the desert" because of its ability to move across vast desert ranges with very little food or water.

	ANIMAL BYTES - Dromedary Camel
		The dromedary camel is capable of drinking 100 L (30 gal.) of water in just 10 minutes.
		Unlike most mammals, a healthy camel's body temperature fluctuates throughout the day from 34°C-41.7°C (93°F-107°F.) This fluctuation is important because it allows the camel to conserve water by not sweating as the environmental temperature rises.
		In Africa and Arabia it is a semi-domesticated animal that free ranges but is under the control of herders.

		They are also found in Turkey, northern Iran and Afghanistan, where they may have been introduced by the Turkmen migrants in the 12th century during the conquest of these countries by the Seljuks.
