Curelom And Cumom
The curelom ( /kuːˈriː.lʌm/) and the cumom ( /ˈkuː.mʌm/) are "useful" animals mentioned in the Book of Mormon. According to adherents of the Latter Day Saint movement, these animals are thought to have existed in North and/or South America. To non-adherents, these animals are creatures of the Book of Mormon.
The exact intended identity of these animals is not known. Joseph Smith, Jr., who translated the Book of Mormon, is not known to have elaborated on the subject of these animals. However, the animals have been a subject for discussion and speculation by Mormon thinkers and apologists.
