CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — It may have seemed like a mirage: Two camels nibbling on a pine tree along a street in this desert metropolis on the Texas border.

"Police tried lassoing the animals, which lunged at the officers with snapping teeth as onlookers chuckled." I would have love to see that..... Camels can be ornery critters. Is it on YouTube yet?
