Camels originated in North America, particularly in the region that is now the western United States and Canada. They first appeared during the Eocene epoch, around 40 million years ago. Over time, they migrated to other parts of the world, including Asia and Africa, where they adapted to different environments. Eventually, camels became extinct in North America around 10,000 years ago.

Where do camels originate from?

Camels originate from North America. The fossil evidence indicates that Camelops, the forerunner of the modern camel, appeared in the neighborhood of 2.5 million years ago.These animals have been gone from the Americas for 10,000 years, but their kin had migrated to Asia and then Africa, where they survive today. These are the true camels, the Dromedary and Bactrian. We also know that the camelids of South America, including the llama, alpaca, guanaco, and vicuña, arose from Camelops.

Do camels live in Canada?

"Giant" is debatable, but according to paleontologists, the camel was native to North America originally. So was the horse. Both disappeared here. The horse was re-introduced. The camel wasn't except for circuses and zoos.
