The Texas Camels
No, it's not a new MLB expansion team; wild herds of camels can be spotted along US Hwy 287 in the vicinity of Wichita Falls, Texas. What are camels doing roaming Texas pastures? While this lot is apparently there for mesquite control [scroll down to bottom of page], importing camels into the Lone Star state dates back to 1835.

Welcome back to North America, camels. "We have the opportunity to restart the evolution of proboscideans, along with horses, camels, and other extinct groups native in the Americas for millions or tens of millions of years."

Camels, as we all know, aren't the only exotic animal in Texas.

Another on what homunculus linked: Camels & Llamas (slow to load) and MMMMM ... Camel Also "Stealth Camel" (third link) sounds like a great cartoon name.

Another thread that deserved more comments.

So many did. I always thought comment counts didn't measure post quality, but controversialness. After all, some of the longest threads were born out of the worst posts (aka Daisy_mae). There are so many good posts where my sole comment would be: cool.

There used to be herds of camels in New Mexico, too.
-
Where are they now?
-
Next thread.
-
wild emu, too.
-
All those animals must have emu'ved out. Perhaps they took a plane?

There is an estimated 2-500,000 feral camels in Australia at the moment. They were imported originally between 1840 and about 1910 for use by early settlers and explorers, and now they're a pest. Now we export both live camels and camel meat.

Does anybody here know CPeteR? He looks as bad off as the guy who tried to get sexual pleasure out of being kicked in the crotch by a camel, due to a fundamental misunderstanding of the term "camel toe".
