Nothing to say, yet
In the Austrian city of Tuln, a 17th-century cellar was discovered during the excavation for a new shopping center. Inside, a skeleton of a camel was found, believed to have served in the Ottoman army and then abandoned and sold after the Battle of Vienna. DNA analysis revealed it was a bacterial two-humped camel. Damage to the bones suggests it was ridden, but not used for carrying loads. The shape of the skull indicates its father had two humps, while its mother had one. It is concluded that the locals kept it as an exotic pet instead of eating it since it was found within a city that was never conquered. Možda i sami imate iskustvo da se u podrumu svašta nađe, ali vjerojatno biste se ipak iznenadili da u podrumu pronađete primjerice kostur deve. To se dogodilo u austrijskom gradu Tulnu. Prilikom iskopavanja temelja za novi trgovački centar, pronađen je podrum iz 17. stoljeća, a u njemu kostur deve za koji se smatra da je služila u osmanskoj vojsi, a potom ostavljena i prodana kad su osmanlije izgubili Bitku za Beč. DNK analiza pokazala je da je riječ o bakterijskoj dvogrboj devi. Oštećenja kosiju pokazuju da se na njoj jahalo, ali da nije nužno prenosila teret. A iz oblika lubanja može se zaključiti i to da je devin tata imao dvije grbe, a mama je bila jedno grba deva. Budući da je pronađena unutar grada koji nikad nije osvojen, zaključuje se i da su je mještani čuvali kao egzotičnog ljubimca, umjesto da je poedu.
