[ Post a Response | Uaddans Let's Talk ! ]
Posted by Viki Williams Giraud'60 on 6/29/2006, 6:36 am, in reply to "What Uaddan?" On the outskirts of Tripoli was an experimental farm, Sidi Misari, run by Americans to show the Libyans better ways of farming and raising animals. Since it was close-by, I would frequently visit there with friends. A pretty garden area planted liberally with ice plant, a flowering succulent and typical local plant, welcomed visitors. Besides the ordinary chickens, turkeys, pheasants, rabbits and guinea pigs,there were pens with a few Libyan animals – the tiny gazelle as in the famous fountain and the uaddan, a ram with huge horns, so massive that the animal had tosleep leaning on them. They kept Angus cattle, Brahmabulls and lots of horses as well. Perhaps because the animal was so large, it made agood example for a team? Sounds logical to me, but aminterested in what others say. viki

Don't know the answer to your question, but I do have a tiny bit of info from my story on Tripoli. I copied it:
