TOLEDO, OHIO (WTOL) Meet Scooby, a two-year-old camel with quite a personality! His daily walks have made him a celebrity in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio.

“The first [camel] I had before him got so big that I traded him in,” his owner Nabil said.

He has his own personality that those who know him compare to a teenage boy.

Nabil says Scooby also took the recent recall of romaine lettuce very personally.

“We didn’t feed him romaine lettuce for a little bit. Right Scooby? You got a little mad, didn’t you?” Nabil said, addressing his friend.

When Scooby gets frustrated or antsy, Nabil says Scooby will hop back and forth doing what he calls “The Scooby Shimmy,” but he is really just a gentle giant.

“He is the star, that’s for sure. He’s the alpha camel,” Nabil said. “I’m definitely not getting rid of this guy. Everybody loves him.”
