The program adds another species to the list of programs tracking other feral animals in Australia, including rabbits, foxes and myna birds. Since CamelScan launched earlier this month, the public has logged nearly 150 sightings.

Perfect opportunity for a new fast food joint...McCamels...their slogan could be, “I’d Walk A Mile For a McCamel.”

Somehow, they’ll get over this hump...

Camel meat is absolutely delicious.

The export of camels from Australia to Saudi Arabia and the rest of the sandbox is big business, along with lamb and mutton.

They would make good dog food.

Perhaps they could introduce a really, really large species of cane toads to eat the camels?

“The camels demolish...toilet systems”. I’ll say. Have you ever tried to use a rest room after a camel has been in there? Filthy stinkin’ mess! Use all the toilet paper. Don’t flush. I think they even pee in the sink if there’s a couple of them in there at the same time.

We had camels in AZ in the 1800’s. And, no, I don’t remember them.

A new program aims to track the camels by allowing people to report sightings using Google maps.

Well, there's a solution that'll handle those buggers.

Two-legged camels are a bigger problem.
