The last known native camels to live in North America went extinct a mere 13,000 years ago, which is a mere drop in the bucket of time when you look at the bigger picture. But there are still native remnants of the camel family living in the Americas today. The modern camelid family has six types: dromedary camels, Bactrian camels, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos.
