Informations supplémentaires

Gigantocamelus is an extinct genus of large camel that lived during the late Miocene and early Pliocene epochs, approximately 10 to 5 million years ago. It is believed to have been one of the largest camels that ever existed, with some estimates suggesting that it may have weighed as much as 2, 200 pounds. Fossils of Gigantocamelus have been found in several locations in North America, including Texas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Its large size and strong teeth suggest that it was adapted to eating tough, fibrous vegetation, and may have lived in grasslands and savannas. Despite its impressive size, Gigantocamelus went extinct around 5 million years ago, possibly due to climate change and the changing vegetation patterns of the time.
