Pet camel kills Australian woman while trying to have sex
BRISBANE, Australia (AP) - An Australian woman was killed
by a pet camel given to her as a 60th birthday present
after the animal apparently tried to have sex, police said
Sunday.
The woman, whose name was not released, was killed
Saturday at her family's sheep and cattle ranch near
Mitchell, 600 kilometers (350 miles) west of the Queensland
state capital Brisbane, state police Detective Senior
Constable Craig Gregory said.
The 10-month-old male camel - weighing about 150 kilograms
(330 pounds) - knocked the woman to the ground, lay on top
of her, then exhibited what police suspect was mating
behavior, Gregory said.
«I'd say it's probably been playing, or it may be even a
sexual sort of thing,» Gregory said, adding the camel
almost suffocated the family's pet goat by straddling it on
several occasions.
Camel expert Chris Hill said he had no doubt the camel's
behavior was sexual.
Hill, who has offered camel rides to tourists for 20
years, said young camels are not aggressive, but can be
dangerous if treated as pets without discipline.
The fate of the camel was not known.
The woman was given the camel in March as a birthday
present from her husband and daughter. «She had a love of
exotic pets,» Gregory said.
