A camel escaped a Christmas Nativity scene in Bonner Springs, Kansas, and spent the following morning walking around town and evading capture, according to local police.

The camel’s halter broke off in front of the Agriculture Hall of Fame’s Nativity scene Saturday night, and the camel sneaked away before anyone noticed. The Bonner Springs Police Department said officers and animal control began the search Sunday morning when someone reported a camel on a golf course.
