Law enforcement in northwest Texas confirm that an aggressive bull camel trampled a man and woman to death on Saturday.
The Wichita County Sheriff David Duke told NBC affiliate KFDX-TV that it happened at the Camel Kisses Farm just after 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
The department said the farm's 72-year-old owner, Peggy McNair, and 53-year-old Mark Mere died.
Sheriff Duke said Mere got into a pen with the male and two females because their water trough had frozen over.
Duke said the male camel was in rut (or ready for breeding). He became aggressive and charged Mere. Mere and McNair tried to get out of the pen and closed the gate but the camel trampled and killed both people.
Eventually, game wardens put down the male camel with permission of McNair's family.
