Ben Stiller handed over a surprise gift to chat show host Jimmy Kimmel on his show Wednesday night - a camel.

The star was promoting his Night At The Museum film sequel on Kimmel's late-night show and arrived with a strange present, explaining, "It's for you."

A bemused Kimmel asked him to explain his odd gift and Stiller replied, "I know how you feel about camels and this is your camel, straight from the Sahara (Desert)... It's for the man who loves camels more than anything."

The beast started urinating on the TV studio floor as Kimmel attempted to make sense of Stiller's gift.

And the funnyman added, "Wikipedia says you love camels... I went to a lot of trouble... I'm sort of embarrassed because I thought you liked camels."

The camel kept urinating, prompting Stiller to take a closer look. He eventually handed the beast's reins to a studio audience member.
