Of course, not impossible that camels were present in Anglo-Saxon England & just not recorded; def were camels in 10th-century German & Polish menageries, as well as in 9thC Carolingian Francia (Pic=camels in the Old English Hexateuch, written in Late Saxon England, c.1025-50).pic.twitter.com/c9dWo67RrZ
In this context, worth noting that there do seem to have been menageries in Anglo-Saxon England; not only are peacock remains known from two sites (one Middle Saxon, one Late Saxon), but there's also some documentary evidence from the 10th century: https://twitter.com/Diane_Watt/status/1041665982631223296 … :)
