|data3 = The camel, a relative of the llama and alpaca, was domesticated between 2500 and 2000 B.C.E. In North Africa and Arabia, the Dromedary camel emerged. Asia is the origin of the Bactrian camel. As trade connected Eurasia it was inevitable that these two types of camels would interbreed. The result was a hybrid with more stamina, a longer life, and the ability to carry larger loads of cargo, up to half a ton. The demand for these new super-breed was met by a thriving practice of animal husbandry in which male dromedaries were bred with female bactrians. | |data3 = The camel, a relative of the llama and alpaca, was domesticated between 2500 and 2000 B.C.E.
