Summary edit

Description
English: The skull of a dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) on a steep mountain path on the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. The cause and time of death could not be determined. Dried, leathery skin of the animal is still present, and the bones have been disordered, possibly by scavengers. Exact geolocation was not possible.
Deutsch: Der Schädel eines Dromedars (Camelus dromedarius) auf einem steilen Bergpfad auf der Sinai-Halbinsel in Ägypten. Todesursache und -zeit konnten nicht festgestellt werden. Getrocknete, ledrige Haut des Tieres ist nach wie vor vorhanden, die Knochen wurden jedoch durcheinandergebracht, möglicherweise durch Assfresser und andere Tiere. Eine genaue geographische Positionierung war nicht möglich.
