Dromedary
a swift variety of the one-humped camel, bearing the same relation to it as race horse to cart horse. Its usual pace is a trot, which can be maintained often at the rate of nine miles an hour for many hours on a stretch.
After running for 24 hours, when in good condition, the dromedary is refreshed with a frugal meal of barley and powdered dates, along with a little water or camel's milk, and is then ready for another day of it. Though now distinctive of north Africa, the dromedary seems to have been unknown to the ancient Egyptians.
