Dromedary Camels were domesticated 4000 B.C. for travel, meat, milk and running, and became extinct in the wild around 2000 years ago. They live 40 years. Dromedaries have no known predators. They feed on leaves, grasses and shrubs in deserts and steppes. Being thirsty, dromedaries can drink up to 100 litres of water in 10 minutes, what would be lethal to any other animal.

Aoudads, known also as Barbery Sheep, are exceptionally well adapted to the arid rocky and mountain habitats. Their jumping power helps them clear a 6.6 feet (2 m) obstacle from a standing start. even newborns are able to climb rocky terrain within hours of birth. Their diet consists of sparse grasses, bushes, acacia and lichens. Aoudads live 10 years in the wild and 20 years in captivity.

Ankole-Watusi have the largest horns of any cattle breed, sometimes growing to a length of 5 feet (1.5 m). They are an ancient hybrid of long-horned, domestic cattle from Egypt and longhorn Zebu from Pakistan and India. They live on grasslands and feed on grasses and leaves. Their main predators are big cats. Ankole-Watusi cattle live 20 years.
