Dromedary Camel

The dromedary is the single-humped camel, domesticated over 4,000 years ago. The hump stores fat, not water.

Rummeliibacillus suwonensis is a bacterium in the family Bacillaceae, first characterized from environmental samples collected near Suwon, South Korea. It is a gram-positive, aerobic organism that forms endospores, enabling it to survive harsh conditions. Its conservation status is not evaluated, as microbial taxa are rarely subject to formal threat assessment.
