Yes, the Camel is very popular fairy piece, but if I am not wrong it is typical desert animal, not Savanna, so probably this is the reason for the organizers to not including it into the tourney...

Well.. Locusts were (are?) the scourge of Africa, weren't they? :-)
.. and generally speaking, locust is an animal... since it is not a plant!
