Camels give Austrian motorists the hump
Drivers are used to seeing humps these days but traffic in Austria was
stopped by a herd of camels wandering on a busy road.
Motorists in Doebriach were forced to wait for hours as the animals which
had escaped from a nearby circus were rounded up.
Driver Gerhard Petzold said: "I came out of a bend on the road and
suddenly saw a load of camels strolling around. I could hardly believe my
eyes.
"I mean in Austria it is common to come across cows being herded across
roads - but the sight of camels was a bit of a shock."
The animals were returned to the circus.
