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...

Camels are notoriously rough sex partners. You have to cut their legs off or tranquilize them if you want to have a successful evening.

A 330 lb camel? Almost as heavy as...

In a test a few years ago 100 men tried Camels but 99 preferred women.

I’ve lived and worked amongst camels and they are not the delightful, romantic creatures made out to be in cinema. They can be nasty, unpredictable and dangerous.

In the Middle East, camel wrestling is a popular sport. Camels are natural wrestlers. Their take-down technique is similar to the method used by human wrestlers. First, they hook their neck over their opponent's back. Then they lift their weight off their front feet, transferring their weight to their adversary. In this position, they try to reach over and grab the opposite front leg of their adversary with their fighting teeth. The fighting teeth are two sharp incisors half way back in the mouth. If they can bite the leg, they pull that leg under and across, toppling their opponent. The top camel then tries to crush the windpipe of the downed camel.

Working with an aggressive camel, you have to be aware of his neck-hooking move so that you don't get thrown to the ground and the camel pretends you are pie crust and he's the rolling pin. Camels, unlike horses, can also kick in all directions–front, back, and sideways. They are well-rounded martial artists. In this case, deadly opponents.

Just damn! Is .40 a sufficient caliber to stop a rampaging camel?

LOL!!! I’ve been busy working :-)

It was only a matter of time.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Did Michael Vick fund the Camel Wrestling set-up, too?
