Camel woes

Ok, so this is not one of the usual local or regionally relevant citizen science projects we normally post here but it is an interesting project none-the-less. Apparently Australia is overrun (in certain areas) by camels that are sometimes aggressive if they want something you have- like anything containing water. Authorities are trying to manage this invasive non-native which presents some challenges. A website has been created to report sightings of those feral menaces and provide some much needed information on the issue. Check it out: http://www.feralscan.org.au/camelscan/
