The Syrian Camel is an extinct species of camel from Syria. Found to have existed around 100,000 years ago, the camel was up to 3 meters (10 feet) tall at the shoulder, and 4 meters (13 feet) tall overall.[1] The first of the fossils were discovered late in 2005, and several more were discovered about a year later.[2]
