The Dromedary Camel, Camelus dromedarius, is a large mammal native to the Sahara desert. It is available in Zoo Tycoon 2. The dromedary camel is well-adapted for life in the desert and is a strong animal with high endurance. It also has thick broad pads on the soles of its feet, and calluses on its leg joints and chest, upon which it rests in a kneeling position to withstand the heat of the desert sand. A camel can also close its nostrils against flying dust, and its eyes are shielded by very long eyelashes.
