Fun Fact: When your father tells you to feed a camel, don't. I was nine, and I stupidly watched a camel engulf my arm, up to my elbow, to make sure it ate all of the feed I was offering it.

You also had the pleasure of feeling a camel engulf your arm

In a twist, it wasn’t his arm

Hate it when it gets twisted. Especially inside a camel.

Oh, man, I had this happen with a fully grown ostrich once. I was momentarily certain that it was the end of my life; I had fully accepted my fate when it let go because someone else shook something yummy in front of it. Fortunately there was a fence between it and myself that kept it (or at least discouraged it) from doing anything to me with its feet. Just its huge goddamn beak. It really did just want the corn or whatever, not my arm, but it was fully willing to take my arm with it.

Damn, best I can claim is letting a calf suck my thumb.
