the camel drawing is really interesting because the Bactrain camel’s range “is restricted to remote regions of the Gobi and Taklamakan Deserts of Mongolia and China, migrating from the desert to rivers in Siberia during winter.”

So how did a Bactrain camel get to Peru or within the knowledge base of those in Peru?

Yeah, that was my first thought too. I think it looks like a bird.

Ah, but therein lies the error. That is not a Bactrian camel. A Bactrian (camelus bactrianus) has two humps, that camel in the geoglyph clearly has three.

Camelops clintonus, is believed to have gone extinct from its range around Arkansas, along with its contemporary, camelops hesturnus, just before the end of the last ice age.

Recently, evidence suggests that Al Quaeda has begun genetic experimentation in Qatar to develop a new invincible class of battle camel based on that same genetics with funding from Saudi extremists and, it is rumored, from someone connected to the Whitehouse.
