On the road

On the road
Wild camels. Central Australia......a common sight in very remote areas. These feral pests are descended from escaped Afghan cameleer herds in the days [1860's] when camels were imported to transport good into remotest Australia. There are now about 6 million of these destructive pests in Australia.
White settlers introduced rabbits, foxes and goats....previously not here...now also feral pests in their millions, along with millions of feral cats, descendants of house cats...... They are all through the désert and remote lands.
These animals all wreak havoc with the land and decimate native animal species.

Thank you....that's why we do not drive at night in the bush!
Actually a couple of years ago we came upon a recent accident on the Nullabor where a 3 train semi trailer had ploughed straight through a herd of them.....there were shredded camels for a kilometer on the roadside...horrible!

Yes.....they are just one of the imported species gone feral, and creating mayhem environmentally, and to our local animals.

Les introductions animales calamiteuses partent toujours de bonnes intentions. C'est souvent au détriment de la faune locale.Nombres d'espèces d'oiseaux ont disparus avec la découverte de nos iles et l'introductions des rats et des chats. Nous aussi sommes obligés de mener des actions pour sauvegarder nos oiseaux endémiques. On se comprend parfaitement. **************************

Exactement.... Je te comprends parfaitement .....ici nous avons des millions de chats, de renards, des ânes, de lapins, de chèvres ...tous introduits, et pour la faune locale...Désastre...

Bonne semaine, mon ami....++++

Oui...belles bêtes, mais trop destructive for the fragile environment in land to which they have been imported...thanks, Isabelle
