Camelus Knoblochi, a type of camel that has two humps, shares its environment in Mongolia with modern humans. Additionally, it is believed that this animal also lived alongside Neanderthals and Denisovans until around 27,000 years ago. Camelus knoblochi has inhabited Central Asia for about a quarter of a million years, with its last habitat being in Mongolia, which lasted until around 27,000 years ago.
The research results show that ancient humans hunted and consumed Mongolian giant camels before the species became extinct about 27,000 years ago.
The latest research published in Frontiers in Earth Science states that hunting activities conducted by humans on one-tonne camels have a significant impact on the extinction of the species. This occurs in addition to climate change, which is generally recognized as a factor contributing to their death. Scientists analyzed the remains of giant camel fossils found in Tsagaan Agui Cave in the Altai Mountains, along with artifacts left by humans during the Paleolithic era.
Arina M. Khatsenovich from the Russian Academy of Sciences stated that a metacarpal bone, aged between 59,000 and 44,000 years ago, showed signs of cutting and bite marks caused by hyenas. With a height of almost 3 meters and weighing around one metric ton, Camelus knoblochi is much larger compared to Camelus ferus, which is a modern species of camel.

The discovery of Camelus knoblochi fossils in Tsagaan Agui Cave, which also contains traces of human life in the Paleolithic era, depicts that prehistoric humans and Camelus knoblochi shared the same territory and interacted in that area.
Ironically, the current southwestern region of Mongolia has become the home to one of the last two endangered populations of Bactrian camels, namely Camelus ferus. Recent discoveries indicate that Camelus knoblochi and Camelus ferus coexisted during the late Pleistocene period in Mongolia. Species competition may have played a role as a third factor in the extinction of Camelus knoblochi.

"The remnants of Camelus knoblochi fossils from Tsagaan Agui Cave in the Altai Mountains in southwestern Mongolia, which also contains a rich and layered range of Paleolithic human cultural materials, indicate that ancient people lived side by side and interacted there with Camelus knoblochi and, simultaneously, with wild Bactrian camels," said Olsen.

At the end of the Pleistocene period, most of the Mongolian region experienced an increase in drought levels and underwent a transformation from grasslands to dry steppes, which eventually turned into desert areas.
