Evaluate the article
The lead section of the article is lacking in a true overview of the topic. More could be added on the role of the camels in Australia including tourism, aboriginal relationship with camels, and the food industry. In the aboriginal section clarification is needed on the purpose of mentioning Camels and the Pitjantjara the documentary. I am confused on its relevance to the topic. I also think the mention of indigenous camel art should be its own section and have a development on the topic. The article’s purpose is to discuss feral camels, yet the second picture, located in the history section, is of a domesticated camel. Much of the information in the article discusses domestic camels as well, should the title be changed? This includes the use of camels for transport and tourism. Additionally there is a section on camel milk being produced, how is this connected with feral camels? Can feral camels be used for milk creations? Lastly this article is lacking on the topics of behavior, movement, diseases, predators, habitat, and diets of feral camels.
