Dromedary camels drinking
Dromedary camels drinking. Group of single-humped dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius) drinking at a water hole. This camel has been extensively used by desert-living people as a beast of burden, and only domesticated or feral dromedaries exist. The feral camels range throughout the desert regions of northern Africa, Arabia and the Middle East. They are extremely hardy animals, and can go without water and food for several days due to their ability to store fat in a hump on their back. They can also withstand the extremes of temperature encountered in the desert, and are able to carry heavy loads. Photographed in the Ennedi Gorge, Chad, Africa

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene of dromedary camels quenching their thirst at a water hole. The group of single-humped dromedaries, known as Camelus dromedarius, showcases the extraordinary adaptability and resilience of these desert-dwelling creatures. This particular species has been extensively utilized by desert-living communities as reliable beasts of burden. The feral camels depicted in this image roam freely across the vast expanse of northern Africa, Arabia, and the Middle East. Their ability to survive harsh conditions is truly remarkable; they can endure days without food or water thanks to their unique hump that stores fat reserves. Withstanding extreme temperatures encountered in arid deserts is another testament to their incredible hardiness. In addition to their endurance capabilities, these majestic mammals possess impressive strength and are capable of carrying heavy loads effortlessly. The photograph was taken amidst the breathtaking Ennedi Gorge in Chad, Africa – a location renowned for its striking mountainous landscapes. As we gaze upon this snapshot from Science Photo Library, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within nature but also humbled by the remarkable adaptations that enable different species to thrive in challenging environments like deserts. It serves as a powerful reminder that our planet's biodiversity holds endless wonders waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
