Camelops is an extinct camel genus. They lived in North and Central America. They appeared around four million years ago. They died out about twelve thousand years ago.

This animal is a true camel. They share a closer relationship with living camels than with llamas or alpacas. The name comes from Ancient Greek words. It literally translates to “camel face”.

Yesterday’s camels disappeared during a major extinction event. Most large animals across the Americas died out at this time. This happened right after humans arrived in the Americas. Researchers found clear evidence that humans butchered these animals for their meat and hides. This suggests that hunting helped cause their extinction.
