Aepycamelus
Aepycamelus, the long-necked camel,[citation needed] is an extinct genus of camelids that lived during the Miocene 20.6–4.9 million years ago, existing for about 15.7 million years.[1] Its name is derived from the Homeric Greek αἰπύς, "high and steep" and κάμηλος – "camel";[2][3] thus, "high camel"; alticamelus in Latin.
Aepycamelus spp. walked on their toes only. Unlike earlier species of camelids, they possessed cushioned pads like those of modern camels.[4]read more
