Wild things

The first scientific study of wild camels is being conducted on the eastern edge of the Tanami Desert. Transmitters and data loggers implanted into the abdominal cavity of 16 camels have revealed high fluctuations in body temperatures - a mechanism that enables water conservation. The study has also gathered information on camel behaviour and grazing impacts for pastoralists and other land managers.
