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.

Oookay; what was the camel trying to do to the goat, exactly?

Replace the smilely in your sig with a camel. The one with the sheep.

Unfortunately we don't have such smiley :sad:

Besides, the reason I posted the question is because I actually hoped someone would eventually step in and explain, in most detailed manner possible, with pics and videoclip to emphasize the points, about what the camel is actually doing to the goat. Hell, I even wished that someone would write a fic, no, a romance out of it.
