A 60-year-old American was
killed by a camel which escaped from its pen and attacked him at
a wildlife center he owned in the Mexican beach resort of Tulum,
local emergency services said on Tuesday.

Richard Mileski, who was from the Chicago area, was found
dead early on Monday, said Antonio Gomez, a Tulum emergency
services spokesman.

"When we arrived, the people who were there said (the camel)
got out of its stable and attacked him," said Gomez. "It dragged
him, climbed on top of him, was kicking him, biting him and sat
on top of him."

Gomez said the dromedary, which is a type of camel
predominantly from the Middle East and North Africa, was then
taken away by Mexico's federal agency of environmental
protection Profepa. He also said the emergency services then
closed the park.

Mileski was the owner of the Tulum Monkey Sanctuary where
the attack took place, Gomez added. The park's website was down
on Tuesday and telephone calls went unanswered.

Tulum, which is near the Caribbean beach resorts of Cancun
and Playa Del Carmen, is the site of one of the most beautiful
beaches in Mexico, and is popular with tourists.
