Lemurian Camel

Lemurian camel (Camelus lemurii) is a species of camel native to the Lemurian tropical savannas, humid grasslands, and forests. The fossil history shows that the ancestors of the Lemurian camels were probably the same ancestors as that of the extinct Syrian camels, which made it into Lemuria from mainland Africa. The Lemurian camels are mixed feeding herbivores and they mainly feed on grass, leaves, fruits, roots, tubers, bulbs, vegetables, shrubs, and even thorns. They are social herd animals that can live in groups up to around 25. The conservation status of the Lemurian camel is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and their natural wide range.
