Camel are not native to Australia, and cause a huge problem where they are now in plague proportions in the outback. Whilst actual figures are not known, it is estimated that there are between 500,000 and 1,000,000 feral camels in Australia's outback.
Camels are a problem because they completely decimate the food and water supplies for the native animals of the outback. A few camels will drink in one sitting all the water from a waterhole that could sustain entire mobs and colonies of native marsupials for months. The camels' heavy hooves break up the ground, causing increased desertification and the loss of vegetation, so new regrowth does not occur. Their heavy hooves also cause the burrows of smaller marsupials to give way, causing these marsupials to be suffocated within their own burrows.
They are a huge pest, and it is unfortunate that the endless media hype and so-called "wildlife care groups" which cover this subject does not investigate the truth of the damage camels cause.
