A camel race

Camel races were staged yesterday in Astrakhan. However, it is hardly possible to call it a race, "desert ships" - they are slow animals. The audience, however, patiently waited for the finish, but the jockeys were lucky to plait in camel's hair ... money!

Before the start, even the name of the camel was a strict secret. So that you do not bewitch it, the owner said. 50 animals take part in the race. Each jockey has his own method. A camel is fed with dry steppe, while the other with wool, monetary bill was plaited- for good luck.
