What began as a calm moment posing with the animal quickly turned chaotic, sending the woman running for safety.
In the clip, which she posted under her TikTok handle @lifeofkylah, she can be seen standing close to the camel, confidently holding it by the neck while attempting to pose for the camera. At first, both she and the animal appeared calm, creating the perfect opportunity for a memorable picture. However, the situation took a sudden turn when the camel began acting up.
