Circus camel bites baby boy’s head in France
A NEWBORN has multiple fractures after a camel clamped its mouth over his head at a circus.
A BABY boy is in hospital after a circus camel bit him on the head.
The incident happened in France on Saturday as the four-month-old and his mother visited the circus in the south-eastern French town of Megeve.
The mother was carrying the boy in a front sling and was looking at the camel in its enclosure when suddenly it bit the baby on the head.
“We weren’t feeding it or stroking it,” the mother told the local Dauphine Libere newspaper.
She said the bottom lip of the camel clamped on to her son’s forehead, with the top lip at the back of his head.
The baby’s life is not, however, in danger.
The mother told Dauphine Libere that he had sustained “multiple fractures” but “should not suffer any after-effects.”
Hearing the mother scream, police rushed to the scene and called the emergency services.
