Here are some interesting facts about these unusual animals, which are ungulates (hoofed animals) like deer, moose and elk. Although camels are now more commonly linked with North Africa and the Middle East, the species first lived in western North America. They are called camelops. The camelops all died in North America about 11,000 years ago. Camels with two humps are called Bactrian camels.
