Non-fiction article: Remains of Extinct Giant Camel Discovered in High Arctic

In Canada, a research team has found remains of giant camels from the artic ages. The fossils were

based on 30 fossil fragments of a leg bone found on Ellesmere Island. The Camels ancestors were to

have originate some 45 million years ago, they were from North America. Many of these fossil were

collected over some time periods (2006,2008 and 2010) and they are about three-and-a-half million

years old, from the mid-pilocene era. The Artic camel probably lived in a forest-type of environment.


I'm really interested on what types of behavoirs went on in those specific time periods in life. Like

my other non-fiction articles, I like to write about new discoveries that talk about early life. Scientists

were trying to develop a mammoth cell in a petri dish , so they could try to clone mammoths. To

determine how the fossils belong to a camel, they had to perform some kind of scaning which took

some DNA samples to help decide the species. Later discoveries and information will be

discovered,but for right now there is evidence that the camel got it's looks from this animal. I think

this is another idea that challenges the theory of evolution.
