Amy Slaton's claim of a camel bite seems to check out — at least there is definitely a not-so-pleasant injury!

Obtained images of the "1000-Lb Sisters" star's alleged encounter with a camel during her visit to the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo have been released, and there is a bite mark that proves part of her claims.

Amy Slaton's alleged attack happened right before she got taken into custody on Monday on drug possession and child endangerment charges.

The reality star's injury pictures show her with a 4-centimeter wide chunk of skin missing from her right arm, close to her inner elbow, giving way to an exposed tissue.

However, the zoo owner, Jon Conley, claimed he saw the bite and insisted it did not look like something a camel would inflict on someone.

The zoo owner's story seemed distorted as the Crockett County Sheriff's Department revealed that an employee from the zoo called them to report that a visitor suffered a camel bite.

Conley insisted there was no way one of their camels bit Amy, adding that he found it strange the reality star had no bruised tissue and the skin was cut open, meaning it was not an animal bite, per TMZ. The reality star was ferried out of the zoo on a stretcher.

The police did not fail to establish that Amy's case was still under close investigation and she has not been convicted of any crimes.

"The charges and allegations referenced in this release are merely accusations of criminal conduct and not evidence," the authorities wrote in their statement.

The authorities stressed that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted through due process of the law.

This means that Amy's charges could be dropped if there was substantial evidence of her innocence. 

Her older sister, Tammy was also taken in for possession of drugs eleven months ago when the cops visited her home following an anonymous tip.
