Itâs not the earliest known code of laws. Hammurabiâs dictates are often cited as the oldest written laws on record, but they were predated by at least two other ancient codes of conduct from the Middle East.
The Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) is a large, even-toed ungulate native to the steppes of Central Asia. Of the two species of camel, it is by far the rarer. The Bactrian camel has two humps on its back, in contrast to the single-humped dromedary camel.
The dromedary (/ËdrÉmÉdÉri/ or /-Édri/), also called the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius), is a large, even-toed ungulate with one hump on its back. First described by Aristotle, the dromedary was given its binomial name by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The oldest known ancestor of the dromedary is the Protylopus. Males are 1.8â2 m (5.9â6.6 ft) tall and females are 1.7â1.9 m (5.6â6.2 ft) tall. Males range from 400â600 kg (880â1,320 lb), while females weigh 300â540 kg (660â1,190 lb). They vary in colour from a light beige to dark brown.
