Camel fights in Turkey

On the eve of the beginning of the competition, each camel is decorated with embroidered carpets, carved saddles and put on bells.

In this form, animals are carried along the streets of the village where camel fights are to take place.

The most difficult & ndash; to make animals fight with each other.

After all, camels are not aggressive animals.

Yes, and fight it can be called with a stretch.

The fights are held at the height of the mating season, and the males are stimulated by showing them the most beautiful representatives of the opposite sex.

In Turks, such entertainments arose almost two and a half millennia ago.

Only then was it a kind of competition between nomadic tribes.
