Description This kind of camel is a descendant of actual dromedary camels that live in Australia (dromedary camels are not native of these continent, they was introduced by men). In the future, when Anctartica bumped Australia both continents joined. Some dromedary camels travelled to the new continent. The new position of Anctartica produced a little melting ice and it origined the grass grown. 

Dromedary camels find so a new feeding fount, and they evolved for a colder climate. Now they count with only a finger, finished in hoof, not in pad. These characteristic produces less cold sense. The legs are now longer, moving away the body of the snow. The neck is also longer, in this way it's not neccesary crouching for get food.  The color gray or white works as camouflage for possible predators. The black mane and tail are used in mating. 

The little hump is now a just a trace of their acestors, now it's usless and just a bent of the back.

¿Pero no se supone que la Antártida seguía aislada?

Muy interesante, aunque no veo tan probable la desaparición de uno de los dedos, teniendo en cuenta que son artiodáctilos y que nunca han mostrado alguna tendencia a la monodactilia, creo que el mismo efecto se conseguiría simplemente regresando a la condición primitiva de una pezuña completa.

This is a rather neat concept.
