Footage captured the shocking moment an angry camel fatally trampled a man who punched it at a children’s camp in Russia. “The animal did not appreciate such treatment,” local media reported regarding the deadly incident, which occurred last month at the Beryozka recreation centre in Omsk, Siberia, per East2West news.
The fiasco occurred after a watchman named Yury, 51, struck the dromedary while attempting to move it, causing it to become enraged and attack him, local media reported.
In the disturbing footage, the guard can be seen walking up to the double-humped Bactrian camel — which can weigh over 1,100 pounds — and yanking on its reins. However, the animal, named Vasya, refuses to budge, after which Yuri punches him in the face. He then tries to get the camel to move a second time, whereupon Vasya wheels around and grabs his assailant with his teeth, then flings him around like a ragdoll.

I will anyway. Dromedaries have one hump, Bactrian camels have two.
There is a naked man in that Camel ad- the left leg is his leg and he is sticking his chest out...and something else....
I am smiling.
Forget it, Jake, it’s Siberia.
I think it was Omar Shariff who said he hated film appearances riding camels. He said they hate humans and will take a quick bite at you if you aren’t always on guard and often will turn around and spit in your face.
Sound like Dems.
That man was genius and very savvy!
No Means NO!
Camels can walk a long distance in the hot desert heat without needing water.
Camels store water in their hump.
9 of 10 men who try camels prefer women.
Camels are very smart. I don’t blame this one for beating up an abusive idiot.
One of my favorite songs.
“you won’t need no camel, no no
When I take you for a ride”.
Just saying :)
Veto!

There was another a few years ago but it was the middle east somewhere. The camel was hobbled, the owner comes out and unhobbles him, the camel turned around and grabbed the guy by the head and flung him. I always cringe when I see video of people at zoos or wildlife parks and when they get too close to the camel enclosure.
could have used a treat to get him to move
Not shocking, it was delightful.
