I think I also read once about skeletons of ancient elephants (not mamoths) that must have been about twice as high as modern elephants. Fascinating stuff.

Do you call them dromedaries or camels? That big you call them "SIR!"

(P Phil: Yes, English has two words, but we're too lazy to use them both

)

Dromedary or Arabian Camel = one hump
Bactrian Camel = two humps

no way.

They're cheap, will kill any cavalry and can (just) outrun infantry, have a nice charge and look awesome.
