Extinct Camel Camelops hesternus - This extinct camel was the largest of the two types found at Rancho La Brea. Its head was larger, its limbs were longer and its joints were knobbier than the modern dromedary camel. The tall spines on the forward part of its back suggest the presence of a single hump. Camels originated in North America about 45 million years ago.
