CAMEL WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP


Everyone may not believe what we all update.. This time we will upload about The Camel Wrestling Championship. Camel Wrestling is a sport in which two male camels wrestle, typically in response to a female camel in heat being led before them. It is most common in the region of Turkey, but is also practiced in other parts of the Middle East and South Asia. 
This is the way how the turkey decorate the camels before starting fights. 





The practice of using a nearby female for motivation is not used as frequently now due to the degree of violence it causes. It is difficult to convince male camels to fight without one nearby, so organizers have attempted to entangle two camels together or starve the camels to make them more aggressive. The camels fight by using their necks as leverage to force their opponent to fall down. A camel is declared the winner if his competitor falls to the ground or flees from the fight. Male camels begin fighting at age ten and some continue for over a decade. Camel owners often name their camels after politicians and world leaders. The camels are often draped in decorative rugs, carved saddles, and bells. The events are also accompanied by beauty contests between camels. Camel pageants are also popular in Saudi Arabia, where they often accompany Musicians often accompany the events playing flutes and drums. Camel meat is sometimes served to spectators, as well.As of 2011, there are an estimated 2,000 wrestling  camels in Turkey.  A successful camel can be sold for over $20,000.
