Poebrotherium is an extinct genus of camel, lived during late Eocene to early Oligocene some 35 million years ago in North America.
The 1 m (3 ft 4 in) long creature looked more like modern camels than its predecessor Protylopus. Its skull resembled a llama's. Poebrotherium`s limbs ended in hooved toes and were more built for speed than Protylopus`s.
