Camelops?is an extinct??of??that lived in??and?, ranging from Alaska to Honduras, from the middle??to the end of the?. It is more closely related to the???and??and??than the?New World?guanaco?and?vicu?a, and?alpaca?and?llama, making it a true camel of the?Camelini?tribe.?Its name is derived from the?Ancient Greek?¦Ê?¦̦Ǧ˦Ï??(c¨¢m¨¥los, camel)^[3]?and??¦×?(¨®ps, face),^[4]?i.e. camel-face.

Because soft tissues are generally not preserved in the?fossil record, it is not certain if?Camelops?possessed hump(s), like modern camels, or lacked ones, like modern Camelidaes of South America (guanacos?and?vicunas). One-humped camels are now known to have evolved from two-humped camels, but two-humps, as an evolutionary outcome, likely associated with arctic climates and two-humped camels presumably evolved into one-humped camels in warmer regions in Eurasia,^[9]?while?Camelops?first appeared in southern North America and lived among both warmer and colder regions of the continent until early?Holocene.

C. hesternus?had legs to be 20% longer than that of?Dromedary, and was about 2.3?m (7?ft 7?in) tall at the shoulder and weighed about 1,000?kg (2,200?lb).^[10
