A camel killed its owner by biting off his head
after he had left the animal outside in the
sweltering heat all day with its legs tied up.
The owner had been entertaining guests at his
home in Rajasthan's Barmer district in India on
Saturday when he remembered the camel had
been outside in the intense heat all day.
But when he went to untie the animal and take
it to a cooler area, the camel became aggressive
and started attacking him.
And according to one villager, the camel then bit
off the man's head leaving him dead.
The man told the Times of India: 'The animal
lifted him by the neck and threw him on to the
ground, chewed the body and severed the head.
Villagers also revealed that the same camel had
attacked the owner in the past and 25 of them
struggled for six hours to restrain the animal.
Meanwhile soldiers patrolling India's border with
Pakistan were also struggling to deal with
aggressive camels, who have become aggressive
in the heat.
Camels are usually gentle creatures and are said
to enjoy sniffing at humans and will even play
with their hair.
However, male camels can have an aggressive
streak and are known to fight with their
counterparts. Animals that are brought up in
captivity are usually bred not to bite despite
their large teeth.
Camels usually kick in a circular motion but
experts say for some reason they are usually
reluctant to kick humans.
