Dromedary Camel

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

Orbilia comma is a minute discomycete fungus producing tiny, translucent to pale yellowish cup-shaped fruiting bodies on decaying wood and plant debris in humid forest settings. It belongs to a genus of small, inconspicuous fungi that play a role in decomposing organic material on the forest floor. Near Threatened, its status reflects sensitivity to woodland management changes and habitat loss.
