Habitat & Geographic Range
Stieleiche
Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.
Widely distributed across Africa (Lesotho, South Africa), Asia (Armenia, India), Europe (8 countries), North America (Canada, United States), Oceania and the Pacific (Australia, New Zealand), and South America (4 countries).
Dromedary Camel
Inhabits deserts and xeric shrublands within the Afrotropic biogeographic realm. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.
Distributed across Australia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, and Sudan.
Stieleiche
One of Europe's most important and widespread deciduous trees, the pedunculate oak can live over 1,000 years, reach 40 meters, and support the greatest biodiversity of any European tree species — over 2,300 species of insects, fungi, lichens, mosses, and birds directly depend on mature oaks. Found across Europe to western Asia in temperate forests, its hard, durable wood has been foundational to shipbuilding, architecture, and barrel making throughout history.
Dromedary Camel
The dromedary is the single-humped camel, domesticated over 4,000 years ago. The hump stores fat, not water.
