Prop Camel Found on Sorority Porch

The mutilated remains of a restaurant's giant prop camel were found at the doorstep of a Mississippi State sorority, the Reflector reports. The camel went missing last Thursday and was found by Delta Gamma's house mother early in the morning with its legs removed, throat cut, eyes gouged out, and ears and tail torn off.

"We were really just like, 'This is weird,'" she said. "His head was kind of smashed in, and you could tell he had been abused." The Delta Gamma house sits at the end of sorority row, making it an easy victim of fraternity pranks. The sorority filed a police report, but no one has been apprehended in connection with the incident.

The restaurant plans to replace the camel, which once served as a prop for a nativity scene and will now be guarded by an accompanying life-size man dubbed The Sheik "to keep him safe" at night.
