Wild camels terrorise NT community
The Northern Territory Government says residents of a remote Central Australian community are too scared to leave their houses because it has been overrun by thousands of wild camels.
Local Government Minister, Rob Knight, says the situation is critical.
“The community of Docker River is under siege by 6000 marauding, wild camels,” he said.
He says in the past few weeks, camels have invaded the town in seach of water. [continued at ABC Australia]
Australia’s animals are really fighting back. I approve.
Except these creatures are dieing of thirst.

Actually, they’re not a native species, and they wreak havoc on the environment.
