Camels can be dangerous if treated as pets without disciplineThe victim, whose name has not been released, died at her family's sheep and cattle ranch near Mitchell, 350 miles west of Queensland state capital Brisbane.

The 10-month-old male camel - weighing about 150kgs (330lbs) - had knocked her to the ground then lay on top of her in what police suspect was mating behaviour.

Detective Senior Constable Craig Gregory said. "I'd say it's probably been playing or it may be even a sexual sort of thing."

He added that the animal had almost suffocated the family's pet goat by straddling it on several occasions.

The woman was given the hand-reared camel in March as a birthday present from her husband and daughter.

"She had a love of exotic pets," the officer said.

Camel expert Chris Hill said he had no doubt that the camel's behaviour was sexual.

Mr Hill, who has offered camel rides to tourists for 20 years, said young camels are not aggressive but can be dangerous if treated as pets without discipline.

The fate of the camel is not known. A post-mortem will determine the precise cause of death within days.
