This colophon was written by Michael Kalantarian. Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. Camels are large ruminant mammals, weighing between 1,000 and 1,600 pounds and standing six to seven feet tall at the shoulders. They are well known for their use as draft and saddle animals in the desert regions, especially of Africa and Asia.
Camels can go for days without water.
If food is scarce, they will eat anything, even their owner's tent. Camels live up to 50 years.
