Left tied up in the scorching heat all day, the camel attacked and killed its owner by biting off their head.
An Indian man who left his camel tied up in the heat all day lost his life because of it.
When he tried to untie the camel, it became aggressive, attacking him and biting off his head.
“The camel grabbed him by the neck, threw him to the ground, bit his body, and severed his head,” villager Thakara Ram told The Times of India.
It took around six hours and 25 people to finally control the camel.
Some villagers in Rajasthan said the camel had attacked the man, Urjaram, before.
Camels don’t usually attack people very often.
Camel attacks can be extremely violent and unexpected.
In January last year, a camel at a breeding farm in Texas killed two people by crushing them.
The previous fall, an American man who owned an animal sanctuary in Mexico was killed by a camel. It bit and kicked him, then sat on him until he suffocated.
Rescuers had to tie the camel to a truck to pull it away from the body. Some believe the camel was upset because it didn’t get its daily Coca-Cola that day.
A few months earlier, a similar attack happened in California when a camel attacked an elderly man the same way. However, he survived.
Camels are usually friendly animals that like to sniff and even play with people’s hair.
However, male camels can be aggressive and sometimes fight with females.
Even though they have big teeth, camels raised in captivity are usually bred to avoid biting.
Camels tend to kick in a circular motion, but experts say they rarely kick people.
