Description

Camelops hesternus is an extinct camel that roamed western North America. It was a member of the Camelini tribe which includes the Dromedary and Camels.
It was 7 feet tall at the shoulder and could weigh up to 1800 pounds. It ate a diet of whatever was around, like other camels. Camelops probably controlled toxic plants like creosote bushes which now dominate the south west landscape, as almost no other browsers and grazers can handle it.
Early Paleoamericans hunted this animal
