Stray camel stops traffic in Swedish snowstorm

A stray camel brought traffic to a halt in southern Sweden after running onto a main road during a snowstorm.

Several motorists called police but it was some time before sceptical officers finally believed them and went to the scene.

"We were somewhat doubtful at first," police spokesman Sten-Ove Fransson in Skoevde.

"But then more people called, so we were finally convinced that there really was a camel gone astray on the road - or else there had been a big party."

However, before police had gone to the scene, friends of the camel's owner arrived and led it back to a stable where it is temporarily being kept while awaiting a home in a new barn.

Owner Anneli Arvidsson said the 22-year-old camel's closest companion was a horse.

Explaining the camel's decision to go on the run, she said: "But the horse had been taken inside the stable and the camel was left alone in the pasture, which probably made him feel lonely."

Arvidsson bought the Siberian camel named Emat from a zoo when it was one year old.
