La Brea Tar Pits

We have been visiting LA for 10 years, and we finally made the 5 mile trip to the world famous tar pits today. I learned that camels used to live in North America today. They became extinct after the last ice age, which had some drastic climate change that is one possible explanation for the extinction of many large mammals like the short nose bear, the mammoth, mastadon, camel, saber tooth cat, and a different bison.
