Western Camel
Banding
Because soft tissues are generally not preserved in the fossil
record, it is not certain if Camelops possessed a hump, like modern
camels, or lacked one, like its modern llama relatives. Camelops
hesternus was 2.2m (7.2 ft) tall at the shoulder, making it
slightly taller than modern Bactrian camels. It was slightly
heavier also, weighing about 800 kg (1,800 lb).
