Zoo Worker Hospitalized After Camel Bites His Head
Scary moment at a zoo in Minnesota this week when a camel attacked an employee by biting him on the head!
According to a report from the local sheriff’s office, the worker was identified as 32-year-old Roger Blencker. He was taking the camel to a location on the zoo property to prepare it for transport to another facility. That’s when the animal bit down on Blencker’s head.
The camel dragged Blencker by his head for 15 feet before another zoo worker intervened and pried open the camel’s mouth allowing Blencker to escape to safety. The camel then charged at the second zoo employee who was also able to escape.

Blencker was airlifted to the hospital. The zoo issued an update that all injuries were non-life-threatening and is expected to make a full recovery.
The camel also was not injured during the incident.
