Nar - a camel for man and the desert

Long ago, twenty thousand years ago, onThe territory of North America was inhabited by a "mammoth" kind of camel - the ancestor of a modern humpbacked animal. When there was a global cooling, the camels moved on a long journey - in search of food and a more favorable climate. Then they did not yet have humpbacks - the main storehouse of energy and water reserves. The hump of a camel appeared much later, as a result of evolution.
