By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
A (two-meter)6-foot-tall camel named Moses and his pint-size pony sidekick are missing from a Texas zoo. Officials at Capital of Texas Zoo near Austin reported the theft of the kid-friendly creatures this week. Zoo founder Michael Hicks said that the 3-year-old camel and the nearly quarter-century old pony, named Coco, are "best friends" and follow each other. He added that he and the staff are "heartbroken." Hicks said he last saw both animals in a zoo pasture Tuesday night, and that they were gone in the morning. He has offered a $400 reward for information leading to their safe return.
