Holy cow, donkey, and camel: trio found roaming Kansas booked for Nativity scene


A camel, cow and donkey that were found roaming together along a Kansas road have been booked to appear in a Christmas Nativity scene.

The trio will be the celebrity guests on Saturday during a holiday event at the Tanganyika Wildlife Park, the Wichita Eagle reports. Sully the camel, Gus the donkey and Rufus the cow made headlines last month when the Goddard police department asked for help in a Facebook post locating the owners of the “three friends traveling together (towards a Northern star)”.

Law enforcement later determined that they belonged to an employee of the wildlife park, but not before posting that if they couldn’t find the owner, they would be “halfway toward a live Nativity this Christmas season”.

The holiday event, called Happy Hoof-i-days, is a first-ever for the park, which normally is closed from mid-November through about mid-March.

No animals are mentioned in the biblical accounts of the birth of Jesus.
