Description
Dromedary camel skull replica measures 18.1 x 8.5 x 10.75 inches. The Camelus dromedarius skull is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The dromedary camel comes from northern Africa and the Middle East. People brought them to other places and now Australia ha large wild herds.
This camel has one big hump on its back. The hump stores fat for energy. They live easily in dry deserts. Wide, padded feet help them walk on hot sand. They can also go a very long time without drinking water.
Their skulls are big and long. Most measure between 17.5 and 19 inches long. They have wide, deep spaces for special nasal passages. Strong jaws hold a long, curved lower bone. Big eye sockets help them see well. Their unique bone shapes set them apart from other camel species.
Top features include a sharp ridge on top of the skull. They also have clear nose bones. Small holes in the bone carry nerves and blood vessels. These traits help the camel eat plants and survive in harsh deserts.
