SYDNEY: Remains of a hybrid camel skeleton, recently discovered in Austria and previously misidentified as a horse or a cow, suggests that the creature was a mount used by the Ottoman army in the 17th century, according to research published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One.
The remains were excavated from a filled-in cellar and are believed to belong to a creature that was either left behind or traded in the town of Tulln after the Ottoman siege of nearby Vienna in 1683, according to BBC News reports. It is the first intact camel skeleton to be found in central Europe, and DNA analysis indicates that it was a Bactrian-dromedary hybrid.
