| HAVANA, Ill. - So, how do you lose a camel? That was the question when Leroy Bollinger checked his trailer after stopping for gas Wednesday and found that the six-to-seven-foot-tall camel back there when he started his trip wasn't there any more.
Bollinger called police in this small central Illinois town, along the Illinois River southwest of Peoria, and the camel hunt was on. An hour after the two-county search began, Bollinger's son, Robert spotted the four-month-old male camel named Bocephalus about 10 miles west of the Illinois River along U.S. 24. Bocephalus was bruised and scratched, which isn't too bad considering that the camel apparently hopped the trailer's four-foot gate as it whizzed along the highway at 55 mph, said Bollinger. "He's in pretty good shape for having jumped out the back of a horse trailer," said Bollinger, of Rushville, about 30 miles southwest of Havana. Though the camel was sore and uncomfortable, Bollinger said it is expected to make a full recovery. Bollinger says he bought the camel to train him for children's rides. He also has been used in live Nativity scenes. |

well in a post that I made not too long ago, about a cow excaping a slauter house, maybe the camel read that and decided to be like the cow.

are we sure that the gate is the cause of the camel getting cuts and bruises?

I would be sore and uncomfortable too if I had to run away from my owner "I'm not owned, just a figure of speach" and he cought me and brought me back.
