Where?

Yes Jenny, You can find fossils anywhere from your backyard to the middle of the Atlantic. Our friends the aepycamelus fossils were found in Colorado and in Florida. They are North American natives.

How

Joe asked a great question about how mammals relate with each other, past and present.They all relate because all mammals can be traced back to the dinosaurs! Also all mammals fall under certain characteristics like all mammals are vertebrates, are warm blooded and also during one part of their life had hair on their bodies.

Information about aepycamelus

Physical characteristics about the aepycamelus is that they had these long legs and a long neck. They were 10 feet tall. They had two toes and hooves on each toe. The tail of an aepycamelus was very short. Also they had one small bump on their backs. \

Phylogeny evolution

* The definition of phylogeny evolution is how organisms are related through evolution.

Some say that the Aepycamelus is related to a camel due to the hump and feet. Others say that it's related to a giraffe due to the long neck and legs. Also the diet; both animals eat leaves from tall trees. Personally I think that they are related to giraffes because of all of the connections.

Biological evolution

Mammals started appearing in the late Triassic period a little after the dinosaurs. Aepycamelus appeared in the middle to late Miocene period. That was about 10 million years ago.
