I heard something once about Australia getting into the camel industry. That would be interesting. Are they the biggest exporters of live camels?

Australia is correct. Interestingly enough, they are also the biggest importer of camels.

Is there really a market for camels?

OK, I'll ask. Why do they want camels in Australia??

Are you sure that you want to know? Some questions are best left unanswered.

Of most of the introduced animals into Australia, the camel does not wear down the environment. They are soft hooved, whereas the wild boar is hard hooved and is destructive.

As i'm sure you already know, the camel is also quite hardy for the most part as they store huge amounts of fat in their humps as energy reserves when food is scarce.
