Archaeologists have located a piece of artwork that depicts hybrid camels in Hatra, Iraq.

The discovery was made while restoring a temple damaged by ISIS.

On the stone artwork, there are 10 camels that looked different from the rest.

The camels are a cross between two distinct camel breeds that made them stronger and more resilient than their counterparts.

The Temple of Al-Lat dates back to 123–164 A.D.
