Australia has the world's largest herd of wild camels and their population
is estimated to be about 3,00,000, spread across 37 per cent of the
Australian mainland. Fed up with its camels, Australia has declared them to
be a "pest" and treats them as an alien invasive species that must be
urgently stopped from spreading.

The most widely used method to check their population is aerial culling in
which thousands of wild camels are shot down by snipers using helicopters.

Around 2012, Australia was gunning down about 75,000 camels every year.
