Megacamelus

Megacamelus is an extinct genus of terrestrial herbivore in the family Camelidae, endemic to North America from the Miocene through Pliocene 10.3—4.9 mya, existing for approximately 5.4 million years.

[1] This was one of the largest genera of camelid to roam the Earth together with Megatylopus, Gigantocamelus, Camelus moreli, Camelus knoblochi, Aepycamelus, and Paracamelus.

It was assigned to Camelidae by Frick (1929) and Honey et al.

[4] Fossils have been found from Nebraska to Idaho to Southern California.
