"I never even considered a llama as everyone knows they're indigenous to
South America but it turns out that they and their camelid buddies evolved in
North America and spread all over the world before becoming extinct here about
10,000 or 12,000 years ago."

It's funny, I was just looking stuff up a few days ago about geology and was
surprised when I read something about camels ever being here in North
America.

Camelops is an extinct genus of camels that once roamed western North America,
where it disappeared at the end of the Pleistocene about 10,000 years ago. Its
name is derived from the Greek κάμελος (camel) + ὀψ (face), thus
"camel-face."
