Interesting!

Did you know that in the early days of Australia exploration they brought in camels to use as pack animals for overland expeditions, and cameleers from the middle east to work with them of course. Most of them were simply released when the expedition was complete. Now, 180 years later there's over one million camels in the Aussie outback. They are culled as feral pests but it is unlikely they will ever be eradicated due to their high numbers and the remoteness of the areas they have spread to.

We have Campbell's soup here...Luckily there's no camel in it.

Sort:  

The Camels disappeared here just before the start of WWII. They had wandered NE from their release point and wandered into the nation. The Navajo are good hunters and had hungry children.

We do have wild burros all over here. From the Spanish Priests that came after Coronado to save all the heathen's souls. I hope they were better at saving souls than keeping track of their burros...

Not sure about Burros...But I like churros. Yum! Lol.
