> They're not truly native to that region, they are actually from North America, specifically the northern latitudes. These Dromedary camels, Camelus dromedarius, are very much native to the region. The Dromedary likely evolved right in the Arabian peninsula, having separated from the Bactrian of Central Asia more than a million years ago. The North American ancestor, Paracamelus, arrived in Eurasia maybe 7.5 million years ago. While North America is the home of the last common ancestor of modern camelids, it is not the native home of any modern camels.
