Talk:Australian feral camel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Changed: "The Australian camels, roving in the only feral herds of their kind in the world and reckoned to number between 43,000 and 60,000..." to:"The Australian camels, roving in the only feral herds of their kind in the world and reckoned to number between 500,000 and 700,000..."

Based on current estimates: http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200504/s1344199.htm http://www.deh.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive/publications/camel/index.html http://www.abc.net.au/news/scitech/2002/01/item20020116124339_1.htm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4485105.stm -as well as the number listed at the base of the article.

The suggested maximum of 60.000 for all Australia seems a little odd considering the estimated population just for the state of South Australia alone is 60,000.OzoneO 01:29, 13 July 2006 (UTC) Parts of this article are taken word for word from other sources without quotes or attribution.
