🐃Dromedary

Camelus dromedarius Linnaeus, 1758

Tek hörgüçlü deve (Camelus dromedarius), devegiller (Camelidae) familyasından bir deve türü. Tek hörgüçlü deve ya da Hecin devesi, iki hörgüçlü deveden daha ince yapılı, bacakları daha uzun, kılları daha kısadır. Omuz yüksekliği 2 metreyi bulur. Rengi de siyahtan beyaza kadar değişir. Yüksek sıcaklık derecelerine dayanıklı olmasına karşın, aşırı neme ve soğuğa duyarlıdır. Evcil tek hörgüçlü develerden türeyen yabani sürülere, deve ile 1840'ta tanışan Avustralya'nın yerleşim dışı bölgelerinde bile rastlanabilir.

SDZWA body-measurements table: "Shoulder Height: 180-200 cm (5.9-6.6 ft)", attributed to Franklin (2011) = HMW-2 Camelidae chapter. ADW agrees and sexes it: "Male dromedaries ... are about 10 cm taller at shoulder height, measuring 1.8-2.0 m" -- so 1.8-2.0 m likely describes males/large adults; the fact-sheet row itself is unsexed. Midpoint of the range.
