These two friends were fishing along a river in the Tyumen region when they had a close encounter with an animal that belongs in the dessert!

"Tyumen. Fishing. Camel. The usual!" says the guy recording the video before bursting into laughter with his friend. Two two-hump camel, however, is undisturbed by their surprise and calmly approaches the water for a sip, before taking off. Good thing they had their cameras, because who would have believed their story?

Strangely enough, the symbol of one city in the Ural mountains region in Russia is precisely the camel! Camels aren’t all that unusual in Russia; in fact, the ungulate is on its merry way to push out the mighty bear off the list of popular animals, especially after this viral clip! The internet is that much richer because another video also showed up from the river Tura in Siberia, where a camel joined a couple of men on their lunch break and got real up close and personal.
