Field Notes

Description:

The ancestors of Australian feral camels were dromedary camels imported to provide transport through inland Australia, which their feral descendants have since made their home. The increasing numbers of camels and their impact on native vegetation is of concern, and feral camels have become minor agricultural pests.

Habitat:

Found in the Arid Outback of Central Australia
