One of my students had a pet camel, called Jikkuboy, he used to bring to school - I used to teach in a remote community in Western Australia.

Smelly yes, but lots of personality, and as he (the camel) grew he became more unsociable and used to chase us occasionally during sport lessons. The kids who were up trees quickly had lots of laughs at their teacher stumbling trying to escape the rampaging Jikkuboy.

Good on you for having a go - never pass up the opportunity to go for a joy ride.
