Yeppers - Australia has 100,000's of them. The only wild camels remaining in the world. There is some move to harvest them as they have a very lean meat. Something needs to be done as their numbers are now starting to spiral even though they have been living here for over a 100 years.

The law applies to all reptiles and amphibians (apart from axolotls). It is mainly about quarantine. Australia's animals have evolved mostly in isolation. Many of the species introduced with European settlement have gone feral and are out of control...(Cats are the worst problem, but also
