Abstract

The largest Eurasian camel Camelus knoblochi is known from Middle Pleistocene deposits of the Volga River Region and new material is described here. Its range included steppe and forest–steppe landscapes from Eastern Europe to the Transbaikalia in the Middle Pleistocene and from the Urals to northeastern China in the Late Pleistocene. The extinction of this species was related to climatic aridization and change of plant communities.
