It has been discovered in the Hummal area of the western Syrian desert.[1] Found to have existed around 100,000 years ago, the camel was up to 3 metres (9.8 feet) tall at the shoulder, and 4 metres (13 feet) tall overall.[2] The first of the fossils were discovered late in 2005, and several more were discovered about a year later.[3] The new camelid was found together with Middle Paleolithic human remains.
