DEF

Famille de mammifères ruminants renfermant les chameaux, les dromadaires (camelus) et les lamas. Ils se distinguent des autres ruminants par divers caractères qui les font considérer comme plus primitifs : ils n'ont pas de cornes, leur estomac n'a pas de feuillet; ils ont conservé leurs incisives supérieures. Ils vivent généralement dans les régions chaudes et arides.
