TYPE LOCALITY: "Africa," deserts of Libya and Arabia, (domesticated stock) .
DISTRIBUTION: Extinct in the wild and unknown as fossil; domesticated in North Africa, Arabia, Mediterranean, Balkans, and Middle East; introduced into Australia.
COMMENT: Produces fertile hybrids with bactrianus ; though their distributions merge, breeding is regulated (as all individuals are domesticated in the zone of contact) (IUK). Corbet, 1978:197, citing Gray, 1954, stated that male hybrids are sterile. Bohldeen, 1961, Z. Tierzucht. Zuchtungsbiol., 76:107- 113, considered dromedarius a synonym of bactrianus .
