KANSAS: Authorities discovered a camel, a cow and a donkey roaming together along a Kansas road in a grouping reminiscent of a Midwestern Christmas Nativity scene.

The Goddard Police Department asked for help Sunday in locating the owners of the "three friends traveling together (towards a Northern star)."

Police said in a Facebook post that if they couldn't find the owners, they would be "halfway toward a live Nativity this Christmas season."

Sedgwick County Sheriff's Lt. Tim Meyers says the animals belong to an employee of the nearby Tanganyika Wildlife Park .

One person who replied to the Facebook post inquired, "Are there 3 wise looking men near?" Another speculated that they "may lead you to the Second Coming."

Goddard is about 15 miles (24 kilometers) west of Wichita.
