When a person thinks of a beauty pageant camels are not normally the first thing to come to mind,but in Saudi Arabia they hold an annual beauty pageant for camels. In the US and other countries shows are held to judge domesticated animals against the standard expected of a breed whether dog,cat or what have you. The camel beauty pageant is judged on untouched natural beauty,curly hair,pert ears,long lashes and high, perfectly positioned hump. Around 300,000 animals compete in the pageant for a grand prize of 25 million pounds (around 32 million American dollars),and the winner is also dusted with saffron (any wonder it's so expensive!).
