Sure, as everyone knows, there is noting as inconspicuous as Arabs riding camels into South Texas.

Well, duh! That's why they parked them at the border.

Did a double take the first time I saw a camel on a South Texas ranch.

Camels are mean buggers. They are born with a bad attune. I guess if you born a smelly, ugly camel you would be upset too.
In Mexico the Three kings do not ride camels—they ride horses—white horses. What king would set his tail on a camel?

Give me a hint- please.

Shadows.

The dark camels are shadows.

Thanks Duck Fan.

Oh no, some Arabs coming through the border couldn’t get their camels through—they must have hijacked a pickup truck!

Camels found wandering in Mexican border city

The descendants of that camel-use experiment by the US military
in the 1800s?

And/or escapees from some Mexican or American Carnival/County
Fair show?

Jeff Davis camels?

[browniexyz]

Escaped from a nearby warehouse? You mean where all the other supplies Al-Qaeda needs to commit terrorism in this country were stored?

I like it too ... in spite of their weird politics, NatGeo has some wonderful photos.

Screw the camels! Where did their jockeys go?

[latina4dubya]

what you see in the pic are the shadows of the camels... the actual camels are the little whitish lines (it’s a bird’s eye view of the camel, so you barely see the tops of them)... at first i kept thinking the shadows were the actual camels... it’s an amazing picture... you can find out more if you google Camel Shadow Photo...

[unkus]

Thanks, now I see. It is an amazing photo.

And in related news (from 5 years ago), Arab terrorists 'are getting into the US over Mexican border'

Wise camels headed out of Juarez?

Mary had a little lamb....and I'll be home for Christmas.

Oh, we aren't playing code-talk games? Pardon me....
