A way to remember which is which: The letter D has one hump, just like the dromedary. The letter B has two humps, as does the bactrian camel.

Laura, hey, that's good. I never thought of that. You can still teach an old dog new tricks.

Kiwozzie, ….and there are plenty of wild camels among the Australian ones so it isn’t completely accurate to say they don’t live in the wild. They are an introduced species but we have lots of camels in the wild.

Kiwozzie, unfortunately they are well suited to our country but they are another feral animal slowly destroying our country.

Australia is plagued with some very destructive invasive species, including the camels, domestic cats, and Cane toads. All of these were introduced, back when arrogant men believed they could control nature. Invasive species are a worldwide nightmare. Animals in the wrong country, far from where they evolved, with no natural predators.

Player #25874027, We are not feral, we have feral animals. As Jonesy referred to, our camels are mostly feral.
