An Indian guy who left his camel out in the heat all day paid the price with his life.

When he tried to untie the camel, it attacked him fiercely and severed the man's head.

“The animal lifted him by the neck and threw him on to the ground, chewed the body, and severed the head,” villager Thakara Ram told The Times of India.

For about six hours 25 people fought to control the camel.

This camel had previously attacked the guy, Urjaram, according to some of those villagers in Rajasthan state.

The probability of camels attacking people is not particularly high.

However, camel attacks can be vicious and result in unexpectedly violent outcomes.

At a breeding farm in Texas in January of last year, a camel crushed two persons to death.

An American owner of a sanctuary for animals in Mexico was killed by a camel the previous autumn after it bit and kicked him into submission before finally suffocating him by sitting on him.

To get the camel to move away from the corpse, rescuers had to tie a rope around it and then secure that rope to a truck.

Some claim that the camel became angry because it didn't get its daily Coca-Cola that day.

A camel attacked an elderly man in California using an identical technique a few months earlier.

In that instance, the sufferer lived.

Camels are typically friendly animals who appreciate sniffing at and even playing with humans' hair.

However, male camels are known to engage in fights with their female counterparts and to have an aggressive streak.

Despite having large teeth, animals raised in captivity are typically bred not to bite.

Camels typically kick in a circular motion, but for some reason, according to experts, they generally avoid kicking people.
