!!!!! Pet camel kills Australian woman

A woman in Australia has been killed by her pet camel after the animal may have tried to have sex with her.
The woman was found dead at the family's sheep and cattle ranch near the town of Mitchell in Queensland.

The woman had been given the camel as a 60th birthday present earlier this year because of her love of exotic pets.

The camel was just 10 months old but already weighed 152kg (336lbs) and had come close to suffocating the family's pet goat on a number of occasions.

On Saturday, the woman apparently became the object of the male camel's desire.

It knocked her to the ground, lay on top of her and displayed what the police delicately described as possible mating behaviour.

"I'd say it's probably been playing, or it may be even a sexual sort of thing," the Associated Press news agency quoted Queensland police Detective Senior Constable Craig Gregory as saying.


Young camels are not normally aggressive but can become more threatening if treated and raised as pets.


It's the time that we kill that keeps us alive...

perhaps people thought she meant a ciggy when she said she liked to "have a camel"?

The question is how many times did it hump her ?

An Arabian Camel has a single hump or a Bactrian Camel has two humps

NB : Most people think that Camels humps store water ?
       This is incorrect, the humps are merely food reserves, and the fat and flesh contained within the hump are absorbed as nutrition when food is scarce.
