July 12, 2017: People in Australia were greatly amused to see a runaway circus camel causing traffic chaos and trespassed onto the ninth green of a military golf course before bemused Australian police recaptured it on July 10, Monday.

Rush hour drivers in the Northern Territory’s capital Darwin had to dodge the rogue animal as police chased it onto the Royal Australian Airforce Darwin Golf Club, where it was cornered.

“It caused a bit of traffic mayhem as it ran down a few streets,” said police duty superintendent Rob Burgoyne.

Witnesses described the scene as “bizarre” and "comic" as attempts were made to tame the beast.

“I just walked and heard one man yell to another ‘don’t run or the camel will run more,’” on
looker Meng-Hsuan Lee told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

“When they tried to catch it, the camel started to run and cross the road.”

Police admitted in a Facebook post the incident had presented an unusual challenge with a lot of clowning.
