“...a camel — a mammal that actually originated in the very ancient American West.”
I never knew that! But, are they SURE it just wasn’t a Petting Zoo escapee? ;)

Looks like they excavated some ancient watches and footwear as well, and they look surprising modern...

You were a beautiful ungulate,
I can tell from your cameltoe.

I'd walk a mile for a fossil camel.
Apparently the other camelids (such as llamas and alpacas) also originated in North America and only later spread to South America.

Camel = a horse designed by committee.

CAMELS. In 1836 Maj. George H. Crosman urged the United States War Department to use camels in Indian campaigns in Florida because of the animals’ ability to keep on the move with a minimum of food and water.

We are owned by a Mule. Same difference!
But don’t call him a Jackass; he gets mad and bitey if you do! :)

The Army brought camels all the way to CA because they could move through the desert. It didn’t work out too well, however, and they eventually died out.
To: RitaOK
If one fell on you you’d know it.

On the Mapquest Oklahoma map, scroll to the OK/TX panhandle state line northwest of Elk City and you’ll see a green rectangular outline of the Black Kettle National Grassland. Packsaddle WMA is part of that. I’ve hunted quail out there a couple of times but saw no camels.

If camels originated in North America does that mean the Indians were the original camel jockeys?
To: JoeProBono
I didn’t realize that a Sopwith Camel could hold that many Wing Walkers...
