Runaway Camel Flees Nativity Scene, Runs Amok Through Kansas Town Before Safely Being Caught

A camel has safely been returned to its owners after fleeing a nativity scene in a small Kansas town, the Bonner Springs Police Department shared in an Instagram post on Sunday.

"If you've heard the unbelievable tales, let us tell you that they are true! Officers and Animal Control spent the entire day chasing down a loose camel," the BSPD captioned a series of photos of the humpbacked perpetrator, detailing the great lengths officials took to track down the animal.

"This morning, officers took to the golf courses in pursuit of the camel (on golf carts no less)," the captioned continued. After taking a "leisurely jaunt" down the highway and into some neighborhoods, officers finally caught up to the four-legged runaway, and it was "safely 'taken into custody' by lasso."

"The camel was reunited with its owners and will go back to doing camel things," the post concluded.

6. Why do they keep doing this

It’s nutz. Why not celebrate every other year. Every 5 years so we can really appreciate the season. It’s hardly the end of September when this stuff comes out. I’m burned out n the animals aren’t happy.. I’m sure.. they’re running away. Like me

15. I don't know which tale is the more unbelievable

The story of the nativity, or that people were keeping a live camel at a nativity scene in the middle of Kansas. I doubt they do the same with bison in the West Bank.
