It covers 9 million square kilometres (3,500,000 sq mi), amounting to 31% of Africa The area is located in the horse latitudes under the subtropical ridge, a significant belt of semi-permanent subtropical warm-core high pressure where the air from upper levels of the troposphere tends to sink towards the ground. ]]> 2017-11-12 13:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/max_formaggio/tijbi3yesyku/wish/205976831 CARACAL max_formaggio https://padlet.com/max_formaggio/tijbi3yesyku/wish/205978838

The head is large and depressed and slightly distinct from the neck. The neck of this species has long cervical ribs capable of expanding to form a hood, like all other cobras. The snout of the Egyptian cobra is moderately broad and rounded. The eyes are quite big with round pupils. The body of the Egyptian cobra is cylindrical and stout with a long tail. They occur in a wide variety of habitats like, steppes, dry to moist savannas, arid semi-desert regions with some water and vegetation. This species is frequently found near water. The Egyptian cobra is also found in agricultural fields and scrub vegetation. These cobras do also occur in the presence of humans where they often enter houses. They are attracted to the human villages by chickens and rats that are attracted by garbage. There are also notes of Egyptian cobras swimming in the Mediterranean sea, so they seem to like water where they have been found quite often.]]> 2017-11-12 14:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/max_formaggio/tijbi3yesyku/wish/205982919 EGIPTIAN COBRA max_formaggio https://padlet.com/max_formaggio/tijbi3yesyku/wish/205983401 2017-11-12 14:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/max_formaggio/tijbi3yesyku/wish/205983401 THE DROMEDARY max_formaggio https://padlet.com/max_formaggio/tijbi3yesyku/wish/216139603  In the wild, the dromedary inhabited arid regions, including the Sahara Desert. The domesticated dromedary is generally found in the semi-arid to arid regions of the Old World, mainly in Africa, and a significant feral population occurs in Australia. Products of the dromedary, including its meat and milk, support several north Arabian tribes; it is also commonly used for riding and as a beast of burden.
The dromedary is the largest camel after the Bactrian camel. Adult males range in height between 1.8 and 2 m (5.9 and 6.6 ft) at the shoulder; females range between 1.7 and 1.9 m (5.6 and 6.2 ft). Males typically weigh between 400 and 600 kg (880 and 1,320 lb); females range between 300 and 540 kg (660 and 1,190 lb). The distinctive features are its long, curved neck, narrow chest and single hump (the Bactrian camel has two), thick, double-layered eyelashes and bushy eyebrows. They have sharp vision and a good sense of smell.
