I learned something new the other day on either Discovery or Animal Planet -- camelids originated in South America, went north, and crossed over the land bridge going east to become camels. I think it's usually the other way around -- red deer came over to become elk, muntjacs came over to become mule deer and whitetails, and so on.
I wonder if it was the same with horses -- eohippus went east, became horses, and died out here.

-- America would be a better place if leaders would do more long-term thinking. -- Wilma Mankiller
