Prehistoric Camel Found At Wal-Mart Dig

Sure, Wal-Mart bears a large inventory, but what about a prehistoric camel?

A nursery owner in Arizona dug away with the simple goal of planting a new tree on the site of a future Wal-Mart when he stuck in the bones of an old camel.

He informed the curator geology museum at Arizona State University, Brad Archer, who hurried over and confirmed, "There is no doubt that this is a camel; these creatures walked the land here until about 8,000 years ago when the same event Dry a large proportion of mammal life took place. "

It obliges the owner of the nursery, John Barbarize have agreed that the bones should go to the museum and put on display.

Wal-Mart has yet to agree, and the rumor is the bones may go on sale.

A director of the chain, explained: "When they found the camel on our property, it is merchandise."

The possibility of camel bones for sale has aroused opposition among local merchants, who fear to have the old bones for sale will allow Wal-Mart an unfair advantage.

"I do not mind competing with Wal-Mart," one shop owner said, "but you can not give them a big edge as a discount on ancient camel bones."
