Take a look at this! One northern Australian town has been overrun by camels!

In Australia's Northern Territory, a herd of about six thousand thirsty camels has invaded the small outback town of Docker River, looking for water.

The prowling camels vastly outnumber the 350 residents. But it is causing serious health and safety concerns for residents. Some are too scared to leave their homes for fear of being trampled.

The government is planning to use helicopters to herd the animals away from the town.
