Why did giant camels die off?

Question

I really need to know.

Answer 1

Scientists have only just discovered in the last year that giant camels ever existed. They have not yet theorized what killed them off. They don't even know when they became extinct, just that they were alive about 100,000 years ago.

Answer 2

They found the first traces of a big animal in 2003, but we were not sure it was a giant camel. It was about 12 feet tall, “as big as a giraffe or an elephant.” Then Swiss researchers discovered 100,000-year-old remains of a previously unknown giant camel species in central Syria.

A group of humans apparently killed the camel while it was drinking from a spring, said Professor Tensorer, adding that human remains from the same period were discovered nearby.

Answer 3

I answered this question on the yahoo news site too. I think it was a combination of hunting, environmental changes and domestication. I've read several books about humans, dogs, cattle, etc. being domesticated. yes even humans, but they domesticated themselves through the development of societies...50,000 years ago humans had thicker skulls and were only living in small groups, they were more robust because it was a more suitable form...cattle became smaller after taming, wolves got smaller and developed spots (ever see the experiment done by silver fox farms to develop tamer foxes, they turned white with dark spots). I think men hunted the giants, but because they shared the water holes with various animals, eventually they tamed smaller more docile animals and hunted the big ones. because they are domesticated now, they certainly changed from their wild form to some degree.

Answer 4

The crash did, of course, occur. Owen-Smith states that "there seems to be no valid reason to doubt that human overkill was directly responsible for the extermination" of the American megaherbivores. However, the loss of other, smaller species was primarily due to the deterioration and elimination of the environments they required. Later human hunting may have also played a subsidiary role. In this very important sense, Owen-Smith's argument is multicausal.

Answer 5

Giant camels?! I have never heard of such... But um ok.
Dehydration? Lack of food possibly?
Who knows.... Maybe the dinosaurs ate them???
