Pet camel kills woman 'trying to have sex'

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 have said.
Dromedary camels can be dangerous if treated as pets without discipline
The woman, whose name was not released, was killed yesterday at her family's sheep and cattle ranch near Mitchell, 350 miles west of the Queensland state capital Brisbane, said Detective Senior Constable Craig Gregory of the state police.
The 10-month-old male camel - weighing about 330 pounds - knocked the woman to the ground, lay on top of her, then exhibited what police suspect was mating behaviour, Mr 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.
Chris Hill, who has offered camel rides to tourists for 20 years, a said he had no doubt the camel's behaviour was sexual.
Young camels are not aggressive, but can be dangerous if treated as pets without discipline, Mr Hill added.
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," Mr Gregory said.

She had a love of exotic pets?
Thank god they never gave her an elephant, she would have needed a coffin 10ft by 10ft after a flattening by that!
