In 2013, scientists uncovered Arctic camel fossils that revealed a once-warmer northern world
Astonishing fossil evidence unearthed in Canada's High Arctic reveals ancient camels roamed Ellesmere Island millions of years ago. Collagen fingerprinting identified the bone fragments, dating back to a warmer Pliocene epoch when the region was a green, forested habitat. This discovery dramatically extends the known range of North American camels, proving their adaptability and offering crucial insights into prehistoric climate and animal migration patterns.
