Despite the fact that camels are popularly associated with the deserts of Asia and Africa, the family Camelidae, which comprises camels and llamas, originated in North America during the middle Eocene period, at least 44 Mya. Both the camel and horse families originated in the Americas and migrated into Eurasia via the Bering Strait.

Camels first appeared in North American about 50 million years ago and about 7 million years ago camels migrated to Asia where they evolved into the modern Bactrian and dromedary camels. About 2 million years ago, camels migrated South America where they evolved into llamas.

During the Pleistocene, six genera of camelids were in North America. The largest of these was the Nebraska Camel (Titanotylopus nebraskensis) which weighed more than a ton and was about 12 feet tall at the shoulder.

Yesterday’s Camel or Camelops hesternus, also called the Western Camel, evolved about 300,000 years ago and went extinct between 12,600 and 10,800 years ago.
