Camelids are members of the biological family Camelidae, the only currently living family in the suborder Tylopoda. The seven extant members of this group are: dromedary camels, Bactrian camels, wild Bactrian camels, llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos.

A camel's toes. Camel toe, or cameltoe, is slang for the outline of the labia majora (the outer lips of the vulva) in tightly fitting clothes. [1] [2] [3] Owing to a combination of anatomical factors and the fabric tension in the crotch area, the outer labia and mons pubis may, together, display a shape resembling the forefoot of a camel.

Camelops. Camelops is an extinct genus of camel that lived in North and Central America, ranging from Alaska to Honduras, [1] from the middle Pliocene to the end of the Pleistocene. It is more closely related to living camels than to lamines ( llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos ), making it a true camel of the Camelini tribe.
The dromedary is a digitigrade animal; it walks on its toes, which are known as digits. It lacks the second and fifth digits. [41] The front feet are 19 cm (7.5 in) wide and 18 cm (7.1 in) long; they are larger than the hind feet, which measure 17 cm (6.7 in) wide and 16 cm (6.3 in) long. [36] A dromedary skull.

Protylopus is an extinct genus of camel that lived during middle to late Eocene some 50-40 million years ago in North America . Along with being the oldest camel known, it was also the smallest, reaching a length of 80 centimetres (2.6 ft), and probably weighing around 26 kilograms (57 lb). Based on its teeth, it probably fed on the soft leaves ...
Titanotylopus is an extinct genus of camel (tribe Camelini ), endemic to North America from the late Hemphillian stage of the Miocene through the Irvingtonian stage of the Pleistocene. [2] It was one of the last surviving North American camels; after its extinction, only Camelops remained.
