}}Cuyamacamelus is an extinct genus of terrestrial herbivore the family Camelidae, endemic to North America during the Miocene 23.03—5.3 mya existing for approximately {{Mya|23.03-5.3|million years}}.[1] TaxonomyCuyamacamelus was named by Kelly (1992). Its type is Cuyamacamelus jamesi. It was assigned to Camelidae by Kelly (1992) and Honey et al. (1998); and to Miolabinae by Whistler and Webb (2005).[2][3]MorphologyA single specimen was examined for estimated body mass by M. Mendoza, C. M. Janis, and P. Palmqvist. The specimen was estimated to weigh {{Convert|485.4|kg|lb|abbr=on|sigfig=2}}.[4] References1. ^PaleoBiology Database: Cuyamacamelus, basic info {{Taxonbar|from=Q5197093}}{{paleo-eventoedungulate-stub}}2. ^J.
