Donkey gets frisky with a camel. Camel is not having it.

I'm impressed the camel had enough neck strength to lift the donkey off of its feet.

Camels have very vicious bites for herbivores:

With search engine wizardy was able to get past paywall from below link:

Animal bite injuries vary according to the geographical distribution, behavior, and anatomy of animals. Human injuries caused by camel bites are relatively rare. They are more common during the rutting season where male camels become more aggressive [1]. Due to the complex mechanism of camel bites, it is usually associated with high morbidity. The head and neck sustain frequent and severe injuries [2]. Injuries may involve facial wounds, skull fractures, intracranial bleeding, and cervical neurovascular injuries [1,2]. Herein, we report a unique case of a patient who sustained multiple camel bites to his face and neck that resulted in left eye evisceration, parotid duct injury, and facial nerve injury. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of globe rupture caused by a camel bite.

The mechanism of camel bite injuries is complex. This includes penetrating and crushing injuries, by the camel's sharp teeth and strong jaws, and blunt injuries when victims are picked up, shaken and thrown by the camels [1,3]. Globe injury caused by a camel bite has not been reported before. Our patient experienced repeated bites that resulted in multiple facial fractures and deep structure injuries involving his left eye and cheek. The camel deeply fixed its jaw in the patient's face using grinding movement that destroyed surrounding bones and intraocular contents and caused globe rupture of the left eye.

he neck arteries showed no evidence of active extravasation, dissection or thrombosis.
Prophylactic antibiotic using intravenous ceftriaxone and metronidazole was commenced. The patient was taken to the operation
room, and the wounds were explored and debrided under general anesthesia. Upper lid (2 cm) full thickness laceration, eyebrow
(3.5 cm), lateral to lateral canthal area laceration and inferior bulbar conjunctiva were repaired. There was a massive corneal laceration with expulsion of the eye content. Salvaging the left eye was not possible, and evisceration of the eye was performed.
Intraoperative examination of the left cheek wound site (Fig. 3) revealed macerated muscle with a deep wound penetrating the
underlying superficial musculoaponeurotic system. The left Parotid duct was partially transected over the masseter muscle (Fig. 3).
This was approximated and primarily repaired using Nylon 8/0 sutures, and the parotid gland capsule was also sutured. The buccal
branch of the facial nerve could not be identified.

Horse kills sheep:



Pretty crazy how easily it ragdolls the sheep with its jaws.

Hedge your bets guys, biggest carnivore you think a horse could do that to.

Was it also trampling the sheep at the beginning? It looked like it, but throughout the rest of the video its rearing and stomping was just done for display, so now I get the feeling the rearing and stomping at the beginning was just for show too.
